Omega Centauri

Hi all

Decided to try Omega Centauri last night under 78% moon illumination.
A new target for me, and I've never shot anything besides nebula so this was fun. I was torn between Gain 0 and Gain 100 but settled on my usual Gain 100 this time. Maybe next time I'll try Gain 0. The histogram just didn't look good with the latter.

I noticed some CA which I guess is just part and parcel of owning a doublet. Maybe The Fathers Day Fairy will bring me a triplet?
