Description

There was a major dust storm on my 4th day in the Atacama desert, but the winds and dust subsided enough in the evening for imaging.  All 4 targets were RGB using my FSQ-85 and a 1.5x extender.

Omega Centauri reminds me of the Northern Hemisphere's Hercules cluster (M13), just bigger.
