Omega Centauri NGC5139

[bluescope]

Took this shot tonight also with my 200mm Newt and MPCC. Once again it is a prime focus single unguided 10sec exposure at ISO800. Due to the full moon I could hardly see the cluster visualy.

Wow! Imagine what you could achieve with slightly longer exposures.

Thanks again guys .... larger version uploaded !

I'm in the process of converting a shed into a " roll off roof " observatory Morton and then I'll begin autoguiding for longer exposures. One step at a time ay !

Done well Steve, next step is to take many exposures, then stack them to produce you final image. Should look really good when finished.
