I've reprocessed a previous post of Omega Centauri. It's been bugging me that I wasn't showing the density of the core of this magnificent globular cluster.
Slightly re-processed. Hope you like it...
In the constellation Centaurus lies one of the most magnificent globular clusters, Omega Centauri. NGC5139. Gracing southern skies, an easy target to spot with binoculars, and although easy to capture as a mag 3,7 object - processing wasn't an easy feat. The volume of stars is surreal.
I unfortunately didn't shoot original flats, and I can see that artificial flats is not doing this photo justice…
30 Minutes (30x 1min)
10 Darks, artificial flats.
My setup for this image:
Celestron 11' SCT, CGEM DX
Canon 60Da
Starizona SCT corrector / flattener&reducer
Guided via Celestron 80mm guide scope & Orion StarShoot Autoguider, PHD
Images acquired & stacked: Nebulosity 3
Final Processing: PhotoShop
