NGC 5128, better known as Centaurus A, is captured in this 14.8-hour dataset combining narrowband and broadband imaging. The acquisition spans from mid-March to late April 2026, using a Sky-Watcher 200PDS telescope paired with a ZWO ASI585MC Air camera on an EQ6 Pro mount. The data includes 109 frames through an Antlia ALP-T filter at 300 seconds each, plus 171 unfiltered frames at 120 seconds, revealing both hydrogen-alpha detail and broader spectral information of this peculiar galaxy. This active galaxy, distinguished by its prominent dust lane and powerful radio jets, lies approximately 13 million light-years away in the southern constellation Centaurus. The dataset is available as a free download under CC BY-NC 4.0, permitting copy, modification and redistribution for non-commercial purposes.
