I say it on March 31st, 2011, in a Zhumell Z-12 (solid tube 12 inch dob) at Pit n Pole. My friend Shahid found it and I took a look to confirm it. Sure enough he had it. Jay On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Centaurus A is the radio source designation. NGC 5128 is correct for the optical galaxy itself. I have seen it from Cedar City, decades ago.

Has anybody observed Centaurus A in Utah? I attempted it last summer but it was too low for the dobsonian telescope. I may give it a try with my refractor and equatorial mount. I got the idea when my friend's Goto mount was pointing the scope in the dirt last fall.
