Omega Centauri - NGC 5139

Hi everyone,

here's an image I did recently of Omega Centauri - NGC 5139.

It's 9 x 30 second exposures @ ISO800 with the modified Canon 300D on the 12-inch f/5 GSO telescope - handguided with 4.5" guidescope. Images are dark-subtracted, flat fielded, offset adjusted with IRIS. Image is masked
to preserve the stars at the core, in PS.

One thing I like about this image is that it shows the yellow stars scattered throughout the star cluster.

Higher Res. Image here http://www.skylab.com.au/pmsa/NGC5139b.html

regards
Paul
