NGC 5139 - Omega Centauri

Hi all,

I am now getting to a point with my equipment where I am almost happy with it. After 5 years of persisting with manufacturing issues on my scope, and after many, many modifications of some sort, it is to a point where I am getting reasonable images from it, that I am happy with. Of course, testing during the winter months and during a near full moon poses more issues, which are out of my control.

So after many mods, here is NGC5139 or commonly known as Omega Centauri. Taken near full moon so image is probably far from what it could be. Also taken just above my Observatory roof, so maybe heat affected also
