Omega Cen up close and personal

While waiting for some narrowband targets from home I grabbed a bunch of RGB subs on Omega over several nights. Despite the light pollution I didn't think the results were too bad.

Scope: Ceravolo C300 @ f/9 = 2760mm FL, Atlas focuser
Mount: AP900
Camera: U16M
Filters: Astrodon E series Gen 2 LRGB
Guiding: Lodestar / MMOAG
Image scale: 0.67 arcsec/pixel
Exposures: approx 60 x 300s each R, G and B

The jpeg compression doesn't do the attached image any favours. A full res version is on Astrobin: http://www.astrobin.com/107372/

I went fairly light on the processing and tried to capture some of the feel that you get through an eyepiece. Constructive criticism is appreciated, as always.

Thanks,
Rick.
