Centaurus A - NGC5128 LRGB+HaOIIIUV
Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus 13 million lightyears away. NGC 5128 is one of the closest radio galaxies to Earth and is also the fifth-brightest in the sky, making it an ideal amateur astronomy target.
The galaxy is only visible from below very low northern latitudes but is best seen or imaged from the southern hemisphere.
This photo was imaged using a Celestron C8 and a QHY268M at f6.3 1280mm focal length.
Total integration time was 35 hours and 40 minutes, 48x300sec luminance subs through a neodymium filter, 27x120s red, 27x180s green, 27x300s blue, Hα:36x300s, OIII:31x600s & UV:21x1800s filters.
