My first light from Proserpine

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Hi all,

I know I have been relatively quiet on the images forum for quite some time...

Nonetheless, I finally got a chance to test darker costal skies in North-Central Queensland.

The first image is an old favourite - the Centaurus A galaxy.

Just under 6 hours of 10 minute subs with a 105 mm refractor, lightly processed.

Thank you for looking!

If it looks that nice up close, can you post the full frame? Does it cover the galaxy cluster close by too?

Thank you Colin. I see now quite clearly how aperture limits the resolution...

Thank you Tim. I used to live in Ingham, so this is a kind of returning to home...
