Captured this on Friday night not the best only about 1hrs data in 10 min subs had an issue with guiding half way through so reason cropped and also smoke haze in air from CALM burn offs
excuses I'll nail this one one day, but we've finally got some decent rain so may be another week or so before I can give it a decent go
I could be wrong, but I think "Centaurus A" is actually the radio name for the object. If we are imaging in the visual spectrum, NGC 5128 is the correct term, isn't it?
Thanks Mike, would have to agree, not up to your standards as yours and Marcus's are two of the finest I've seen of late
but another one for my collection
Grant, not sure never really thought about it but interesting point although Wikipedia states
Centaurus A (also known as NGC 5128) is a prominent galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. There is considerable debate in the literature regarding the galaxy's fundamental properties such as its Hubble type (lenticular galaxy or a giant elliptical galaxy)[7] and distance (10-16 million light-years).[2][3][4][5][6] NGC 5128 is one of the closest radio galaxies to Earth, so its active galactic nucleus has been extensively studied by professional astronomers.[11] The galaxy is also the fifth brightest in the sky,[11] making it an ideal amateur astronomy target,[12] although the galaxy is only visible from low northern latitudes and the southern hemisphere.
