Description

NGC 5128 the famous Centarus A Galaxy is located in the constellation of Centarus. The galaxy is one of the most beautiful objects in the southern sky. Their special morphology is remarkable. Its central dust band is a hallmark of the Centaurus A galaxy. On deep exposures stellar streams can be seen around the galaxy, as well as areas of galactic cirrus. But those can only be recognized as a hint in my exposure.
