Super massive black hole and high luminosity quasar discovered in Centaurus

ABC reports today on a black hole discovered outside of the
Milky Way in Centaurus which is some 500 times larger than the
supermassive black hole at the centre of our own galaxy.

It is driving a high luminosity quasar.

Can't be seen visually, but a decent scope with a camera should
be able to image it.
Dennis Simmonds have a go.
Cheers

So who's going to be the first to image it? I'd love to see what you can do.


(I highly doubt my scope has the reach to see it, and the weather here is dismal.)
