Description

Imaged this back in 2006, but didn't know how to process it. While I'm still not an expert, I did manage to get it separated from the light pollution.

Omega Centauri is a southern sky object, but us Texans get treated to it. This was taken at the 2006 Texas Star Party. This star cluster is visibly the largest for earthlings. It is so big and bright, you can see it naked eye in dark skies.
