Description

Very short exposure on Omega Centauri, just 10 minutes, with high humidity atmosphere. So you see that is a bit noisy, I did not want to darken more the background or to go for a more plastic solution with a more aggressive technique for background treatment.

The cluster is so bright that is easy to get overexposed, so I may add more time to it using short exposures. Also slowly with the histogram, so not to burn the core.

It has quite a number of families of stars, judging by the variety of colours from them, a nice object to come back.
