Omega Cent - Dob - Crappy but Interesting

Hi Everyone,

I didn't think it was possible to capture objects such as these with my standard Dob.

It's Omega Centauri taken with 20D on 10" Dob. No tracking or Stacking. 0.8sec ISO 1600. Processed in Photoshop CS2.

There is a lot of noise and some trailing but I was suprised I could even see it.

Would and object like this work better if I was to take shorter exposures to minimise trailing then stack several shots?

Cheers,

Dave.
