Omega Centauri, Centaurus Alpha and NGC 4945 (best viewed zoomed in)

I have never seen these targets imaged in the same frame so I thought I would give it a crack. Centaurus Alpha is visible to the bottom left and the galaxy NGC 4945 at the top of frame above Omega Centauri. I am a little amazed that some detail as well as colour came out of the galaxies at only 180mm, the image is uncropped with some distortion visible at the edge of frame but this lens despite its age works well!
