A tale of two globs

Had a good night out at Mt Blackheath last night and here's some initial stacks (and tweaks) of a couple test subjects

C8 Edge HD on EQ6 (unguided), with Canon 1100D 20s exposures at ISO1600
47 Tucanae - 30 subs at f/10 (native)
Omega Centauri - 45 subs at ~f/7 (with 0.7x reducer)

I struggled a bit with the colour balance on 47 Tuc, can't quite figure out what to do about the central pink ring no doubt it needs a good few more subs to give similar definition and balance? I've cropped 47 Tuc so that the image should have more or less the same image scale as Omega Centauri, and the result is staggering! Love both of these objects
