Ngc 5128
It was sort-of clear last night, and despite the moon and some annoying gradients I finally managed to get, while not exactly great, at least some new data 
The link is here

Nice detail Peter, and you've captured the extended halo as well!

Ta... there is more halo there, but a pesky gradient made pushing the data difficult.

Thanks for the feedback... This is the full KAF8300 field, which frames it nicely, but I suspect a bit more FL will help.

You've captured the faint stuff really well, Peter, despite the pesky gradient.

Nice one Peter. NGC 5128 never gets old. Only minor comment I have is that it looks a bit magenta, possibly due to your gradient.
Cheers

Thanks Steve... yes, I agree about the magenta. I've subsequently tweaked it a bit

Superb Peter, thanks for sharing. Still running ME? Planning on ME2?

Thanks
Yep, still running a PME.... I rather think of them as being like a Bugatti Veyron: an engineering exercise that cost more to implement, than the sticker-price the sales people would allow. ( even the PME cable covers are machined down to preserve rigidity yet reduce unnecessary mass )
The ME2 is albeit, a much heavier, but very fine mount.
I don't need the extra payload capacity just yet

Peter,
That's a good image in its own right, but a superb effort considering the light pollution you are dealing with.

Hy peter.
Very good work, this image is excellent, there are many details, nevertheless I just blame for the lack of colors!
See you soon.

Ta. I think the image would benefit from more data (maybe the next new moon  )but I'm not a fan of Las-Vegas-neon processing, hence am happy with a more muted result.

Very nice and crisp shot of an old favourite, thanks for the view Peter
I've been gathering data of this one myself lately, it's such a beautiful and interesting galaxy. Looking forward to processing it soon, but I need a few more hours still.
