      NGC 5128 Centaurus A (LRGB)

      Centaurus A, also know as NGC 5128 or Caldwell 77, is a peculiar elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus.


      This galaxy is situated approximately 11 million light-years away from Earth, and was discovered by astronomer James Dunlop in 1826.


      I used PixInsight for stacking & processing the data.
