Hey guys,
You'll have to click the link then click on the image on flickr to zoom, it is pointless of me to upload the image here as the galaxies are so very small at this FOV.

I have never seen these targets imaged in the same frame so I thought I would give it a crack. Centaurus Alpha is visible to the bottom left and the galaxy NGC 4945 at the top of frame above Omega Centauri.
I am a little amazed that some detail as well as colour came out of the galaxies at only 180mm, the image is uncropped with some distortion visible at the edge of frame but this lens despite its age works well!
I drove out to the Lake Eildon Dam hoping to capture Sagittarius rising but did not take into account the dam control tower would be lit up to a certain extent so I stuck to tracked shots instead.
