My best "Omega Centauri" using Nightscape at highest resolution 10.7Mp

Up to now i have binned 2x2 , however when i did the calculations for pixel size with the 120ED I realised that the higher resolution , though slower would work better. Tried full resolution , then binning 2x2 and 4x4 and found that the full resolution (10.7Mp) was more appropriate. This picture is made up of 20 x 40second exposures (darks, flats and biases ) stacked and processed in Astrofx and tweaked in PShop. What do you think?

Whoops made a mistake on the exposure it was 40 second subs not 5 minute , have corrected it. 5 minutes and it would have burnt out!

Very nice to look at Philip, sharp stars indeed, well done, tho Im seeing a little noise in the outfield, which was surprising for 20 short subs, I assume a pretty high ISO was used ?
Tho as said, very sharp and well resolved, great star colors in there also
