Omega Centauri.

Hi all,

Thanks for the good words.

The 'scope is a Takahashi TOA150.

I was practising focusing the camera (one of the more difficult things for me to get correct!) and thought that photographing a star cluster would be a good test. The stars occupy about 2x2 pixels on average and the resolution on the CCD is approx. 1.2 arc sec. per pixel.

Rgds,

Jerry.
