Ngc5139

Gidday,
since the other Kiwi member seems to be swanning back and forth across the Tassie I decided I have to keep the home flag flying.
I had a decent night last night, and shot the Tarantula (still in the processing stage), as well as a shadow on Jupiter, (again still to be processed completely).
As I finished the Tarantula I decided to blast one of the old friend Omega Centauri, NGC5139. Why not?
Attached is the shot, a single 3 minute exposure, with the Mewlon 180, and Tak/Mewlon reducer .75x, the Nikon D100 at ISO1600.
Not perfect, but not bad. I'll post the Tarantula and Jupiter when finished.
Gary
