NGC5128 - Dragon Eyes

Just for fun...

This is an image of the galaxy NGC5128 that I completed in May 2019. As a result of my wife’s envisaging of this object appearing as a Dragon’s Eye [GoT spin off], I thought to join a pair of these NGC5128’s to make the Dragon’s Face, and how crazy is the result! No additional stars or features added, just the image duplicated, duplicate flipped and joined to the original. I hope you like it!
