Description

Live Stack of Centaurus A

This is a particularly tough object from Central Arkansas. Maximum altitude from my dark sky observing location is 12 degrees. It was low and the seeing wasn't great. Happy to have been able to see it at all.

GSO 6" f/4 imaging Newtonian on an alt-az Celestron Evolution mount. 120 x 4 seconds with a ZWO ASI290MM at 350 gain. Taken with SharpCap Pro using dark subtraction and sigma clipping.
