NGC 5139 Omega Centauri

[Forgey (Paula)]

Finally got the tracking going on the mount a bit better after 3 hours of drift alignment.

Taken with Canon 1100D modded on Saxon ED100
50x15sec exposures @ ISO-800
Stacked in DSS processed in CS5


Spent most of today trying to process the data and in the end still couldn't get the colours exactly what i wanted. So i gave up and here it is.

Edit: added another colour variation.

Nice tight stars and the centre isn't blown out. Well done

Thanks Peter, i'm still trying to get the hang of processing the image in photoshop.
