NGC5128 Centaurus A

Not a target you usually see shot by North American imagers...
From my location about one hour south of Las Vegas, NV this target only rises about 10.5° above the horizon as it crosses the meridian. I wasn't expecting great results as this was more of a "Can I shoot it?" kind of target. It turned out better than I hoped for.
