The Deepest View Ever Obtained of Centaurus A (NGC 5128) New improved version with 10 hours of H-Alpha, Sep 2019 In 2013 I gathered 120 hours of data on Centaurus A, and processed the deepest image ever obtained of this magnificent galaxy showing many features and structures not revealed by amateurs before. In Feb 2014 I released an improved version of the image with higher resolution, processed using PixInsight. Then in 2018 I again acquired further data (for what is evidently a never-ending project…), this time in the H-Alpha wavelength. This new re-processed image incorporates the H-Alpha data in order to highlight the impressive emission structures triggered by the relativistic jet from the supermassive central black hole. It also emphasises the many pink hydrogen clouds in the dark dust lane across the centre of the galaxy, and lastly I feel the image showcases the concentric shells and rich background slightly better, while keeping a reasonably subtle natural look. About the Image This image is the realisation of a long time dream of mine: Taking a deep sky image with more than 100 hours of exposure. I set out on this mission in early 2013 and after having gathered 130 hours of data on 46 different nights in 2013 and 2018 I present what I believe is the deepest view ever obtained of Centaurus A. This is likely also the deepest image ever taken with amateur equipment, showing stars as faint as magnitude 25.45. I spent around 40 hours and analysing processing the data...

Bold text on a light blue background with the pride progress flag colours as a banner at the top and bottom. The text says LGBT+ people have always existed, and always will.
We've loved going back to the past for LGBT+ History Month, but it's vital we also keep building a future where no LGBT+ person who experiences abuse and violence is left without access to support.
Here's how we're working towards that future ⬇️

Screenshot of QueerAF article, headline reads: What Trans+ kids say about draft education guidance that could force schools to segregate them. By Sasha Baker - Queer investigative reporter - They/Them - Queer, nonbinary, bisexual, neurodivergent, chronically ill, Jewish
Draft education guidance could force schools to exclude Trans+ children from toilets and changing rooms - raising barriers to social transition at school.
It splits policies into “must” do and “should” dos.
It leaves room for Teachers to be Trans+ supportive (but only if they do the paperwork) 🧵👇
In honour of LGBT History Month, our next Wikipedia: Women in Red edit-a-thon is about inspiring women from the Scottish queer community!

One of the challenges of #LGBTHistory is terminology. #Gay wasn't commonly used as an alternative to homosexual until the 1950s so 18th and 19th century uses have a very different definition, as many letters in our collection illustrate #Context

Glasgow University lit for LGBT+ History Month February 2026
Last summer, we launched our Every Conversation Counts campaign, highlighting the value and importance of holding space for, and listening to, LGBTQIA+ family members, friends, and colleagues. This LGBT+ History Month, we’re sharing the same message.
Template from LBGT+ history month features their logo in the top left of the image. Down the right hand side is Jemma Redmond written in large font with her dates (16 March '78 - 16 August 2016) and a conical flask with rainbow logo. The bottom left quarter of the image is filled with a head and shoulders image of Jemma
Next in our series of brief spotlights on members of the community and their scientific contributions this LGBT+ History month is Jemma Redmond. Jemma founded Irish firm Ourobotics and is noted for creating the first ten material bioprinter capable of using live human cells
In this week's LGBT+ History Month debate, I asked the government a simple question: when are we getting a ban on conversion practices?
Pleased to hear the government recommit to this but every day of delay leaves more LGBT+ people subjected to this abuse.
This month is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, and we’re sharing a hub of resources that highlight LGBTQIA+ research – featuring valuable insights on topics like sexual orientation, queer theory, and more.
