Description

Omega Centauri is not the most photogenic of astronomical objects.

But it is one of the few DSOs one can target with broadband during full moon. Since I have set myself a target of completing all the accessible "Top 93" targets in Bracken's astrophotography atlas (Omega Cen is amongst then) I took advance of the recent full moon to knock this one off the list. Took LRGB, but didn't bother with L data because I forgot to take L flats.
