Omega Cen

Here's last nights attempt at Omega Cen with the new gear. This time more/longer guided subs (5x60 sec & 6x90sec). I can see I'm going to need to build a light box for this set up (I needed another project ) as vignetting is evident in my images as I stretch them more.

Comments/tips always welcome.

That's one of the better Omega Centauri images that I've seen - resolved to the core and not blown out and plenty of detail.

I agree with Dave, it's a very good image.

Thanks Dave and JJJ. I'm quite pleased with my early attempts and really looking forward to the next DSO night in a couple of weeks.

Peter.

We should be able to get in a few hours of dark sky goodness by this weekend. It would be great if this weather holds out.

Thanks for the offer JJJ, it's always good to have some dark sky options up your sleeve when you live in light polluted Brissie.
