Omega Centauri

Here's Omega Centauri from 6th July, the same night as my M17 and Helix images. I used the cluster to adjust the collimation of the hyperstar lens then decided while I was there to snap away.

Total of 14 minutes , 10 x 30 sec + 9 x 60 sec, taken at F2 with 60Da and hyperstar on C11 Edge HD.

Processed in Pixinsight. Calibrated with bias and darks, still no flats however, I ran the image through DBE and ABE about 9 times, seem to work quite well.

I'm pretty happy with the stars across the field, I just hope I can get the same results next time I set up. It would be nice to have a permanent set up

Large image here (3.8mb)

Cheers
