Omega Cent close up

Focus a little soft on this set......damn!
Last night was a ball tearer for seeing.
One of those nights you dream about.
6 frames were rejected from a 300 frame set!

Great work Steve, some nice resolution there! The core of Omega Centauri is just incredible.
I did a near identical shot in 2011 and made a comparison with HST. Here is a gif animation of it: http://goo.gl/kcRdx

Thanks guys,

Another set from tonight, this time the seeing was a little better again.
Full result, a crop of the core, and another curve applied.
