NGC5128 is a type E0 peculiar elliptical galaxy in the constellation Centaurus. This galaxy is one of the most luminous and massive galaxies known and is a strong source of both radio and X-ray radiation. It acquired its alternative designation of Centaurus A precisely because it's the strongest radio source in Centaurus.

Nice image. I didn't know it's NGC designation. My first thought was that it looks a lot like Centaurus A but I waited until after I read your post. What's the technical details of the image?
beautiful image Ron, looking forward to seeing many more. Amazing what you can get with 25 minutes!
