Omega Centauri

Captured this last night under very bright Moon lit skies and fast moving cloud.

I got the mount polar aligned good enough to start imaging in about 30 minutes without any problems. I setup the guidescope hoping to autoguide and spent most of the time trying to find a suitable guidestar. I don't know why, but I just couldn't find a guidestar. So this image was unguided.

6 x 1 minute subs with ICNR darks, ISO 800, Stacked in DSS and processed with PS CS3. C8 f/6.3 on EQ6 Pro.

I would like to know your opinion on which image looks the best in terms of processing and colour. The first image was processed on the Laptop and the second on the desktop.

Thanks
