NGC 5139 under Sydney Bortle 8 and Full Moon

Took advantage of a clear night and stable conditions in suburban Sydney the other night and imaged NGC 5139 Omega Centauri. Started at 8.30pm and finished around 2.30am in the morning. About 11.00am I stopped imaging Omega and slewed across to image the full moon for 20 minutes and then back to Omega again
