Omega Centauri

Last night i set up my equipment mainly to try EqAlign. After spending some time with it before packing up I thought I will try few short exp on omega cent.

When i processed the image this morning I was quite happy given that its unguided and not much data.

I can see a faint galaxy like something towards middle left conrner. Is it a galaxy? If yes does anyone know what is it called?

EQ6
ED80
10x 2min sub
Flat, Bias, Dark corrected
Captured in Nebulosity and post processed in PS CS2
(No field flattener and ignore the bad column on the right side i think i messed up something somewhere)

nice image, the second one is great. You definitely need a field flattener for those corners

Or crop them out

Yeh I agree the coma is quite horrible. I was just too greedy to keep everything and not crop

. Waiting on a recently bought spacer set for the WO .8x PFlat 2. Hopefully that will improve the star field.
