Default NGC5128 Centaurus A

Well I started imaging over a month ago (Lum) due to the rain had me on hold and now that it stoped three days ago I started imaging my color data but guess what? saharra dust and volcanic ash is passing thru my area and effected my color data and being so low it didn't help either. until next year then.

Color doesn't look bad to me. You did a good job compensating.

Thanks Cesar, For your kind words.
Thanks Rick, It sure took some effort but learn on the way.
Something I found out in this process was that I was having problems with my green filter channel (internal reflection halo) I removed my focal reducer/corrector and the problem went away install it came back. I think this focal reducer (Meade) is not a good match for the R and ACF models, I might go straight F10 like you and latter get a reducer only like a AP 67.

Clear Skies to All
