First time post of pic - Centaurus A

Hi everyone,
this is my first time post of a pic on IIS. Taken from my southern Canberra suburban backyard on Saturday 1 May.

ZWO ASI533
SW Esprit 80mm on a SW HEQ5 pro mount
Capture via NINA with no guiding
401 subs at 12 secs with 30 dark.
I cut the session short as the mount was getting close to meridian flip and I haven't worked that bit out yet.

Stacked in DSS and processed in SIRIL with a tweak of saturation and colour in GIMP.

Interested to know what other more experienced people think and any suggestions or critique more than welcome

You can go past meridian flip without a problem for quite a while, there is no need to stop unless the scope will bump into something like a tripod leg etc.

That's a great capture Rob and congratulations on your first IIS image.

Things like guiding and meridian flips will soon become second nature.

Just do your research and one step at a time.

Well done
