Thank you for comments. Omega is very hard to capture because of his brightness. I tried to resolve the stars inside the core. The colors were enhanced with the frame Halpha; but I am testing the better configuration to get the best Halpha information with stock Canon. It helps to enhance the red information without mess with the other colors.

I will try to find the online version of Astronomy magazine that you told, Michael.

Nice work, Jorge -- O Cen never fails to impress.

Tempted to go back and have another go at it when weather permits.

Thank you, Rolf and Eden.
I would like to see what I would can get with a barlow 2.5x Powermate.
Omega is a impressive object. You can see it as cluster or as nucleus of galaxy.

Good work Jorge!

Omega certainly takes quite a bit to get right, yours has come up well.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thank you, Justin. I did another globular cluster: M 5, and it was well, too.

Globular clusters are fantastic ! I always imagine, or dream, with the complexity of gravitational interactions and winds. And the sky that a planet would have in that region.
