That is a fantastic image Louie,

Is there any chance we can use it on our outreach program, on Saturday nights, at our observatory in the Cederberg Mountains?

Hi Chris

[atalas]

Hi and thanks for the feedback Lester!

Excellent shot. As a suggestion - a slight play (10 secs) with photoshop levels to clip the sky glow makes this look absolutely stunning!

Hey Louie, how did I miss commenting on this..? :doh:
Because it is imaged so much, it is rare to see Omega Cen in a new light, great work! Excellent and well delineated variation in star colours gives it the unique look I am talking about. The golden stars look quite seperate form the blue and red like they are hovering in front of the main ball.

Nice work :thumbsup:

First showing will be May 8.

I'm just blown away from the colours in the stars - how did you manage that? When I shoot I get nowhere near that diversity in star colours!
