Quick Omega Cent

Also had a small window of opportunity a couple of nights ago so shot of a quick 30sec each LRGB on NGC 5139. Captured and processed in Max DL4, CS6(curves/levels)

Nice too, but I notice that the stars are out of round in this one.

You've managed to resolve the stars quite well Shane. Only comment I would make is a little too much green. Should be able to tone it down a tad in PS. Still makes for a pretty good image though.

I was having some really strange guiding behavior, not sure what it was but seems to have resolved itself now. Which is why I kept the exposure time to 30 sec.

I wasn't too fussed with this one being only short exposure but cheers for the comment, I will keep an eye on my processing to tone down the green.

It is nicely resolved, good job. I have always struggled doing any real post processing in Maxim, kudos to you
