Description

"My God, it’s full of Stars”

This is Omega Centauri captured last week at the annual Winter Star Party. Globular clusters are spectacular in the eyepiece, and spectacular (and somewhat easy) to capture with a camera. This image is only 33 one minute exposures (about 10 minutes on each color channel) combined with a Player One monochrome camera and Chroma RGB filter set. The telescope was an Astrophysics Stowaway 92mm refractor on a Paramount MYT. Modern cameras and glass are amazing. Omega Centauri is also not too shabby, as my Dad used to say.
