Another DSI II cooled NGC 5128

[kinetic (Steve)]

Sorry for the repeat subject but this came up a little
better than the last effort.
DSI Pro II with homemade cooling keeping the CCD around
10°C with ambient (as I type) still hovering around 27°C
Needs more frames and seeing dropped off about halfway through
the set.

Nice round stars Steve. Always nice to see a shot of 5128 close up, and the cooling is working well. Amazing what the dsi ii can produce considering it's price.

Thanks Allan, you and me both
It certainly performs under a good light bucket and
fine tracking.

Here is a crop of the main image showing stars
down to Mag 17.9 according to Aladin skyserver.
