Description

NGC 5139, THE MONSTER of Omega Centauri

Almost 3 hours on this photo of the most incredible globular cluster in the Milky Way (Hey M13, please don't cry).

In addition to the cluster and some mini-galaxies (Mini in apparent size, not absolute. 😅), I believe I managed to capture Galactic Cirrus (IFN, Integrated Flux Nebula), on the bottom left! Super tenuous, but I think it's there.

So, do you prefer Omega Centauri or the Hercules Cluster?
