Description

There is a lot of room  for improvement here however I think I  have exceeded my previous attempt.  I inadvertently shot Darks Flats and Bias  in PNG  format  which was not compatible  with FITs  Lights in DSS  so that will bring improvement  to post processing.  ( Also, see I have coma  😒due to the shortness of the exposure and the lack  of cropping  due to no field rotation) !
A friend  described Omega Centauri as looking like smashed glass. If you ever get the opportunity to  absorbed the actual photons from it's 10 million stars don't pass it up !!!.
Cheers
