Description

This image likely won't win awards or attract much attention, but I was just happy to have access to Omega Centauri at all, as many people in the northern hemisphere can't see it at all.  This was only about 10 degrees above the horizon from southwestern New Mexico near the border with Arizona and Mexico when I captured this image, but the skies were Bortle 1 which helped.
