Description

Following on from my previous attempt using the RedCat 51, I tested out my new longer FL Stellarvue SVX102T on this beautiful galaxy target.

From my previous post: "One of the brightest visible galaxies in the night sky, Centaurus A is a beautiful but mysterious galaxy located between 10 to 16 million LY from Earth. It is only visible from the southern hemisphere (or low northern latitudes) and features an unusual morphology and a distinct band of dust across its middle, which has led to the general conclusion that it was formed from the merger of two smaller galaxies."

I hope you enjoy!
