Omega Centauri

Here is an image I took last night...Omega Centauri. (I was dodging the clouds for a good part of the night before they rolled in good and thick.)

Composite of 21 x 30 sec and 2 x 30 darks using my Canon 350D.
I've adjusted brightness and contrast, cropped and used unsharp mask.

Stacked using DSS. (What a great program)

I also think I need to tweak my focusing a little bit more. (Using 10-1 focuser on Saxon ED80)

Quick question...Do I process the images before stacking or after with the final result?

Any other tips anyone can offer would be helpful.
