Omega centauri with cooled DSLR

Hi
Tonight went for Omega centauri.
Was cloudy but it cleared briefly, then re appeared out of nowhere just after i finished.
Also a full res crop of the core, seeing was very good but hazy, poor transparancy.
4x5 mins ISO200, Houghys cooled DSLR, sensor temp 3 degrees. uv/ir filter, 10 inch f5.6 scope. Hand guided all the way, made all the more interesting trying to concentrate on the wee little guidestar while listening on my radio walkman to the Newcastle Knights come from behind to beat the NZ warriors in a thriller of a game
