Wow! Lovely!

As a widefield study of Omega Centauri and surrounds, it is beautiful. The colour in particular is excellent.

(One of my pet peeves is the magically bright blue 10 billion year old Omega that so many people trot out because it looks pretty even though its physically impossible. You've nailed the colour).

The wide field is lovely. I take it that the IFN or dust or whatever that we can see is real? One would expect there to be some, given the direction of the image, but I've not seen it brought out before.

If one misses the point of the image and zooms in, one can start to see a lot of artifact, but if viewed from a meaningful distance, it's lovely. One of the very best top rank widefield omegas in the galaxy!

Very best,
Mike
