Centaurus A

Here is a meagre shot of the active radio galaxy Centaurus A. It is also known locally as the "hamburger" for obvious reasons. This was my most disasterous night imaging, plagued with celestrons all star alignment problems, my telrad base plate falling off the scope along with the telrad and crashing onto the concrete during alignment, phd guiding software constantly crashing and locking up the laptop and very heavy dew. I gave up and packed it in after only 3x2 minute subs and swapped the camera and computer for an eyepiece. I need an observatory before my back and knees start to go on me::bricks:

Lovely Shot there John either way!

Very nice shot!

good starting image John, its a galaxy I'd like to see through a big scope some day.

Hi John'

I hate nights like that when nothing goes right. I've had my fair shear of them let me tell you. You'll bonce back from it next night your out and you will love your scope and software again.
