NGC5128 (Centaurus A) Galaxy

Image taken at Clayton Bay, South Australia

Equipment - GSO 8" RC, Takahashi flattener with QSI583WSG

Guiding - ED80 with Orion Star Shoot autoguider on PME.

LRGB 40 30 30 40

Darks, flats and biases applied

Processed in CCDstack and Photoshop CS3

Notes - A significant step up from my previous image but lots more work needed to get the image how I want it to appear.

Object information - This galaxy is located in the constellation of Centaurus at a distance of 10-16 million light years. The galaxy is very bright to view through a large telescope but photographically is shows a lot of detail and galactic cirrus.
