Omega Centauri - barlowed
Finding Omega Centauri such an amazing object to view and photograph, I thought I'd have a bash at teasing out more detail with a GSO 2x ED barlow added to my budget optical train.

Was muck trickier focusing at 1200mm FL with the barlow rather than the usual 600mm for the ED80, but I was happy to see some more detail in the core.

Captured with 450D / ED80 on Jan 24th.
5 x 4min stack @ ISO800 with single dark.

Comments or tips welcome.

Cheers,
Jeff
