The Olsen-Sidonio Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field (Annotated Version)
Rolf Olsen and Mike Sidonio are pleased to present here what we believe to be the deepest colour image in visible light ever presented of the entirety of the enigmatic and famous galaxy NGC 5128.
Mouse over the image and select size to get a larger view, or go directly to the 7MB full resolution version here.
This image represents a mammoth collaborative integration time of 140 hours worth of exposure using two different imaging systems:
Rolf Olsen: 120 hours using a 10" Newtonian and QSI CCD camera from the outer suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand, and reaches to at least magnitude 25.45
See Rolf's gallery Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field - 120 Hours for full details.
Mike Sidonio: 20 hours using a 6" Starfire refractor and FLI CCD camera from perfect dark skies at Wiruna, North West of Lithgow Australia and reaches beyond magnitude 24
See Mike's gallery Centaurus A - the ultimate collection for full details.
