Omega Cent in HD
This is some old data that had been bugging me for some time, due registration errors.
While not completely gone they have been reduced...and presented below in High Def resolution.... it's a big file , about 2meg.
The image data is here

Beautiful! That is one target I wish I was able to get before I shut down my observatory in Moorook. Wow!

Nicely done! Was the colour binned or is that the registration errors you mention?

No, un binned. I suspect the seeing had a lot to do with the mis-match

Thanks Ken... This one's OK, but I suspect it needs to be captured during better seeing. On the "to do" list

That's very nice and tight. Great to see an image of Omega with such resolution.

That's a very high impact image. I like the different star colours.
If seeing affected the different colours (I've had that happen to me where the seeing improved during the night or worsened, often blue cops it) perhaps different levels of deconvolution on the different colours to bring them to a similar size. I think PixInsight can do this as well.

Ta. Omega I suspect is an object that could have a real wow factor with great seeing and lots of focal length... Not quite there yet

Thanks Greg. I have no doubt seeing played a big part. Most stars had lovely symmetry, others didn't....humm ..very typical of fine structures in Solar/Lunar imaging 
Haven't played much with Pixelinsight....but hear it got many thumbs up at AAIC...another "to do" list item

Magnificent Peter. The detail to the core is wonderful but being a bit picky the background seems to have compression artifacts or something which would bug me if it was my image. Just wondering how much compression you had to use to crunch this down to 2MB.
I can see your registration problems but they don't detract from the core detail which grabs the eye straight away.
Beautiful Peter, It is a keeper even with the registration problems.

Sentiment noted...and thanks...but to post on the web, you gotta break some pixels (no-one would thank me for a 10 meg download)

Ever see the film Amadeus? (the composer was accused of "too many notes" ) ....I could photoshop some stars away....or tell some stars to "move along'"....but then again....
