NGC5139 Omega Centauri

[Spookyer (Brett)]

Okay, here is a go capturing the king of the globulars. Not sure I have the colour correct, still struggling with Pixinsight. Took me about 3 hours to process this bugger. Ended up just using RGB. 15 x 2min subs for each channel. Other details in the fields at Astrobin.

Looks good, Brett. Nicely resolved. I like a bit more colour but that could just be me

Omega is very difficult to capture. His core is very bright with many stars very near. I liked your photo. At sky and periphery you did well the colors. The core is very bright and don't show the colors.

There are some old red-yellow stars together with new blue-white stars inside it.

For luck I had a good seeing and I managed to do it. You need to reduce the sensitivity to avoid saturations : http://astronomia-e-astrofotos.10697...013-td903.html

Very nice Brett, Omega's core is very bright and hard to resolve. I would maybe boost the colour saturation on the stars, but that's personal taste

Well done
