the name can easily confuse with Alpha-Centauri which is a star of a binary system and the Sagittarius A which is another what believed to be a super massive black hole at the middle of galaxy... someone should come up with better name for these guys
inch reflector! since I live in a heavily polluted area I could not make out detail but I am happy that I found it! I only saw the core as a kinda fuzzy light! Now I am sure if I go to a dark sight I would see it in all its gloryness because the only light that would be coming in my telescope would be the galaxy's light. So a dark place is the only way its going to be viewable only the super bright objects like orions nebula etc magnitudes of 4.00 and less will be vieable under polluted skies
This is amazing! I have always seen images of this galaxy taken by people with their own telescopes and never knew that it had a black hole in it sucking other galaxies! I hope it doesn't suck ours, poor life forms that are in those galaxies near centaurus A they must be horrified. Well same thing is gonna happen with andromeda and our milky way in I think 2.3 billion years or something like that... also whatever telescope anyone has Id recommend seeing andromeda i saw it with my 5.1

Well, there are over 100 billion galaxies and an uncountable number of stars. We'll run out eventually I think.

Im going to upgrade soon to a 12 inch reflector and I am going to a dark site to enjoy both my 5.1 and 12 inch scopes in the future!
