Talking Omega Centaurus with QHY9

Peter Wards lovely rendition of this beautiful Glob spurred me on to give it a try tonight myself with a somewhat smaller imaging rig.

I am pretty happy with the end result.
I do believe my camera has a bit of a tilt which needs to be rectified to fix the bottom right stars.
I need to attach it with all screwed adapters and remove the camera adapter.

Imaging Scope: Takahashi FSQ106ED with 1.6 extender (848mm)
Mount: G11 with Gemini
Guiding: QHY5 and WO 70MM scope
Camera: QHY9 with QHY filters
Image details: 10 X 2 minute exposures each RGB
15 X 2 minute exposures Luminance
90 minutes total exposure
