We are home again from our trip out to #Bindoon for some #Astrophotography .
This is one of the targets we spent a lot of time on - 300 subs in this case.
This is Centaurus A , aka "The Hamburger #Galaxy", or #Caldwell77, or even Arp 153.
Mentioned in Halton Arp's "Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies", it is partially obscured by a ribbon of interstellar dust, resulting in the distinctive hamburger-like appearance.
Shot on a #DwarfII, 300 frames @ 15s gain 80. Post processed in #Snapseed and #GooglePhotos .
At 25'x20' this is a reasonable target for the Dwarf, which has a 1.3 degree FOV, and a 4k resolution.
