NGC 5128 Centaurus A or Caldwell 77
To me this looks more like a hamburger than the other one (NGC 3628)

I didn't see the hamburger gazing into this scene until I read your description. I can't unsee it now

A beautiful sight to behold.

How interesting! It does have a bit of a hamburger feel to it. I know that I am now hungry and my mouth is watering if that's any indication!

Jim haha ! I had a feeling my images may have a secondary effect but hunger wasn't intended !

Great image and I find the variation in size and color of the stars that surround the central feature to indicate great detail.

Great capture! An amazing object that really is unique compared to a number of other galaxies. It is very low to the horizon for my imaging location but at some point I will likely have to give it a try in any case.

Looks more like a cracked egg than a hamburger. In any case a great image, nicely done.

Nice shot, one of my favorite to view and image. I imaged this a few years ago with a supernova right next to the bright star in the dark lane.

I pointed my scope at this last night when it was at about 10 degrees (about how high it was going to get.) I see it, but it is not great at that altitude for sure And 580mm is a little small to do it justice anyway.
