Omega Centauri (and friends)

Omega centauri
115 x 120 sec exposures at 1600 ISO with equal darks and 30 flats.
I noticed Astrobin didn't plate solve the two small fuzzies, so I added them in for reference.
Again, it was battle against the warm weather and light pollution.
Comments welcome.

Looks good Bo, maybe worth boosting the star colours a bit?
Nice detail showing there

Thanks Andy, I de-saturated the stars as I was finding it a bit too much. I will have another try!

Thanks Colin. We had a great few days in the new moon a week ago, so made the most of it.

Thanks Dunk, I had to check with Stellarium to find out what they are (and very little is written about them from the limited search I did).

Yes, star colours are a little off but the detail is nice. Good work on the little fuzzies too!
