Omega Centaurus with new toy

[Terry B]

Dear All
I have purchased a focal reducer for my VC200L.
It brings the focal length down from 1800mm to 1278mm now giving me a field of 40arcmins x 1 degree with my 40D. This allows much more of omega cent to fit in a frame.
The photo is from last night taken between the clouds with lots of moon. It is only 3 frames of 5 mins processed with Iris

Nice work Terry. ~1200mm is a sweet focal length which opens up opportunities to many targets. Your image is a prime example. Well done.

Terry ,now thats a very nice Omega, colors etc are real nice and a great field of view with the shorter focal length.
Look forwards to some nice deep shots when the moon goes away!
cheers Gary

The new toy is working very well.

The focal reducer is working a treat Terry. Nicely resolved and really good star colours. A great image.

Terry that's a beautiful capture indeed !
Love the colours in this image.
The VC200L with reducer and 40D looks like a great combo.
