Omega Centauri with galactic dust

Finally a new image, after many months!
The Omega Centauri globular cluster with galactic dust and several background galaxies (inspired by Mike's image):

This is the first light with my new EM-200 2M mount.
The picture is far from perfect, this is a work in progress.

Exposure: 300 seconds frames, L(6) R(4) G(3) B(5), 90 minutes total.
FSQ106ED and 383L+ at -15C.
Date: Jan 30, 2014.

The sky was a bit hazy and the last L exposure was taken just before dawn.
Many thanks to C. Jacques, M. Moura, J. R. Barros and E. Pimentel from SONEAR Observatory, Brazil.

Thanks for watching!

Cheers,
Luiz Duczmal
