    Michael Sidonio, also known as "Strongmanmike," is a well-known Australian amateur astronomer and astrophotographer with a background in strength athletics. He studied astronomy at Dickson College and worked at the Canberra Observatory for over a decade. After retiring from strongman competitions in 2005, Michael focused on astronomy and astrophotography. His work has been featured in various exhibitions worldwide and has won numerous awards.

    Michael has made significant contributions to astronomy research, including discovering a galaxy 11 million light-years away. His astrophotography is displayed at Australia's National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra. Michael recently completed the construction of the highest astronomical observatory in Australia, located in the Tinderry Mountains.

    Centaurus A Deep Field (NGC 5128) by Michael Sidonio

    Poster produced for 2009 "Many Faces of Centaurus A" International conference in Sydney showing the entire 350 000 light-years of her in full-colour visible light.

    The image reveals the full outer halo of the perculiar radio galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) in Centaurus including faint polar extensions extending from the top and bottom of the galaxy running diagonally.

    Also evident in this image is the extensive but extremely faint Milky Way nebulosity and dust known as "Galactic Cirrus" or "Integrated Flux" that permeates this entire region. Galactic Cirrus material lies just above the plane of our galaxy and is lit by the light of The Milky Way as a whole but due to its extreme faintness at 27mag/sq arcsec, is seldom seen in images, it is visible as faint patches of dusty looking nebulosity all over the image. 

    The Cirrus nebulosity around Centaurus A is some of the faintest in the sky and is well below the natural sky brightness. Countless distant background galaxies of all shapes and sizes can be found scattered all over the field of view as well.
