Not another Centaurus A!
Imaged under good seeing conditions, the only environment to image galaxies that exhibit fine detail.

Very nice Steve. Lots of detail and it even looks like a bit of galactic cirrus.
Well captured and processed.

Thanks to Prokyon, Paul , Clive, Barb+David, and Jase for your comments.
These days I'm putting a bit more emphasis on processing instead of relying purely on better than average raw data.

Steven,
Agreed with everyone else, that's a stunner. You should be proud of that.
Great camera and optics combination.
