NGC 5139 Omega Centauri ( The big Daddy of Globular Clusters)

NGC 5139 Omega Centauri is my last image from 9 days away down at my NexDome Obs South Coast NSW.
First time I’ve imaged this object with a 10” scope
Pretty impressive when the subs started rolling in on the laptop compared to my smaller Newts
Again conditions were ok with a moonless night
