Description

Omega Centauri is pretty low to the horizon where I am. The dark patch at the bottom left of the image is a local mountain ~5 degrees above my observing location . This photo is from May 2016. I tried it in May 2017 as 5 frames each of LRGB, but there was way too much movement across the horizon. One shot color is the best I can do with this object from my location.
