Description

Since the weather is good and there is still some time before I go to Namibia for the maintenance work, I photographed Omega Centauri. For this image the single frame exposure time was reduced to 120 sec.
When processing the image, I tried to keep the spherical impression of globular clusters. For my personal taste, this also means that the core has to be bright.
