Centaurus A or NGC5128

I enjoy processing images from the Ch-1 observatory that has a Planewave CDK24 telescope, something I could never access otherwise. This is a beautiful DSO, probably the result of a collision between an eliptical and a spiral galaxy. I used PixInsight Lockhart to process the 13 hrs 10 min of integration. MARS doesn't include much of the Southern Hemisphere yet, so I used DBE extremely conservatively on the image. I put considerable time into bringing out the colour and detail in the dust lanes and associated nebulosity.
