Omega Centaurii

Hello again : )

Last Friday and Saturday night were clear here on the South Coast so I took the opportunity
to do some imaging/experimenting .

I tried to image the Rim Nebula , Herschel's Ray and Omega Centaurii and lost 60% of them to eccenctricity .

I'm still having problems taming my RA axis but thanks to PaulSthcoast , I think I found the reason it hasn't been behaving . The plate on my pier was pretty close to level but the level bubble on the AZ-EQ6 GT was way off .

Although I lost 40 out of 50 2 minute subs , Omega Centaurii came out nice enough for a beginner . It looks far better on a colour corrected 4K monitor .
