Description

Wondering what the weather was like in Centaurus A 13 million years ago? So was so I. Looks cloudy...

A year into the hobby and so much to learn, but I felt confident enough to take my lousy 2 hours of data and pop it up for all to see. I'm still trying to get the best out of my GSO 12" RCT, grappling with mono+filters, flats are harder than they sound until you get Voyager to produce sky flats - YAY! and generally wishing I had a 12" CDK!

Some collimation and tweaking to be done on the data capture side and a LOT of learning to do when it comes to processing - feedback welcomed.

Captured from my Bortle 8 backyard less than 10km from Melbourne CBD. (3rd floor balcony facing a busy street to be precise, I know, why make it easy....)
