NGC 5139 / Omega Centauri

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

NGC 5139 / Omega Centauri

Post by cataclysm »

Imaged this on 24 May with the the 8" f/4.5 Newtonian and DSI III pro cam. LRGB composite with 7x1min lum and 6x2min RGB each. The stars are oval due to poor tracking, or rather balancing the Newtonian properly for imaging is a challenging affair.
