OC Imaged from the Bob'servatory Fri 27th Jun. This was my Target for tweeking in the Orion Off-Axis-Guider focus which increased the signal for PHD & whislt the Guide image was well focused tho not perfect - I ran a few subs without refocusing the Image scope - so Im pretty chuffed with how close the two cameras are at this stage, the apparent seeing was not to crash hot - only average so takes a real good night to get the most out of this arrangement ?

Omega Centauri (ω Cen) or NGC 5139, is a globular cluster in the constellation of Centaurus that was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1677. Located at a distance of 15,800 light-years (4,850 pc), it is the largest globular cluster in the Milky Way galaxy..
Hope it worth the Squizzy

And sometimes both at the same time... I think I've said more swear words with this hobby than any other.
