Great job of stopping the core of O. Cent burning out. Are you sure that
the other pic is A. Cent. I can't see any elongation of the star, even at
a screen mag. of 550%. Also, it looks a bit too white.

Hi Peter, nice shots.
What gear did you use for these? Scope, Camera? What were the subs? ISO? Exposure? How many are stacked for each. Omega is really nice. I also agree with Raymo, are you sure it's Alpha Cent, it really does look too white, and you would normally see some elongation if not split the double.
