Widefield centaurus A

Hi all,

This image was taken over a few nights in this last week of amazing conditions, to get so many clear nights over the new moon period is staggering.

The usual suspects. EQ6, vixen ed103 refractor, st4000xcm, ao8.

Comments on improvements muchly appreciated!

Brett

You must be happy with that Brett. Stars look great and there is plenty of detail in the dust lane. How long/how many subs?

Subs are 10 minutes, I took around 65 subs. I rejected any subs that were over 2.5 fwhm, which I think was around 15 subs.

Yep, I am pretty happy with it.
