Centaurus A
Probably, in my opinion, the best galaxy visible from our Earth. I live in northern emisphere and so it's impossible form me see this beautiful object through my telescope, remote telescope is the only possibility.
It's 12.5 hours of integration
L 20x600s
R 15x600, 6x300s
G 15x600s, 6x300s
B 15x600s, 6x300s
Hope you like it!
