Description

NGC 4945 is a prominent galaxy in the constellation Centaurus and is well known among astrophotographers. After I started the series of images during my stay in Namibia about 2 weeks ago and the moon was high at the time, I simply let Ha run. Interesting in this context is the rather rarely shown structure at the lower right end of the galaxy (the Ha image is also attached). I tend to be conservative when it comes to image processing, so I deliberately didn't try to show everything that the data might reveal (also when using the NB data).
