Centaurus A galaxy. FS152 LRGB 30 20 20 20. ST2000XM.

What is interesting to me in this image is how much larger the galaxy is compared to other shots I have seen of this. The Tak scope seems to have picked up more of it.

Greg,

I do like this shot of this galaxy, because it shows the object as it is rarely seen.

Thanks for posting it!

Keith

Hi Greg,

The refractor image looks sharper, but the RC version does bring out more detail. In the refractor version, the colors look a little weak - I was not sure about the color data until I noticed the color in the stars.
