NGC 5128 -- SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE JUNE CHALLENGE -- from Kenya

#1

Post by BABOafrica »


I finally got a brief break in the clouds but all I had available to set up quickly was my William Optics 66mm. Not the best for this target.

Anyway, here's what I got with only 6 minutes of total time...

12 x 30s WO66 on AVX with Fuji X-A2 (UHC filter @ iso6400)

That's a great image for a 66mm. Clearly see the dark lane in there Joe. Nice.
