Omega Centauri with canon 300D

My son and I imaged Omega Centauri last night-despite a bright half moon - with the Canon 300D and Celestron C8 NGT, autoguided with GuideDog(Atik 1 c webcam @2 seconds exposure , 60 mm refractor guide scope). Manual focus.

composite of two images at ISO 1600-one exposure was of 224 seconds and the second was a 20 second exposure.

Gradient removed in photoshop, also levels stretched , brightness and contrast tweaked.
Noise removed in NeatImage.
