Description

Was not going to post this one as all these shot were taken through the clouds. I am surprised it came out as it did with the weather and all.

But here is the Globular Cluster, Omega Centauri. Containing an estimated 10 million stars! And is the biggest Globular of our Milky Way.

Although I dont hugely enjoy imaging clusters as I dont personally find them all that interesting compared to whats out there, I would highly recommend (If you can see it from where you are - sorry northerners) looking at this object visually as it is something that even I can see very well in my light polluted skies!
