BC,
Do you have a copy of the raw stacked file?
So when you stacked in DSS did you save the file as a TIF or FITS file?
If so, possibly upload it to a filehost (like rapidshare.com or something) and put a link here. We can take a look at it a bit more and play with it.
A quick look at it though leads me to believe it is more of an image processing issue rather than a data issue.
Your focus is a little bit out and there is a tiny little bit of elongation in your stars, but nothing too bad.
The glob not being in the center of view isn't too much of an issue. Ideally you do want it to be in the center but the issues you are seeing aren't because it is off-center.
Also Omega Centauri often blows out in the core. The amount of stars in that small space is massive. This often causes a white wash in the center, and can be processed out somewhat with different tools.
