Description

Omega Centauri is the largest cluster we know. More interestingly is that it contains stars of various age (possibly the remaining core from a past inter intergalactic collision). 
I tried to boost up the saturation to demonstrate stars in different ages. Blue ones are younger and red ones are older.

Data collected using Planewave  CDK24 El Sauce Chile.
