NGC5139 Star Cluster - Omega Centauri

As we are almost in the Doldrums of targets as the huge Body of the Emu has to rise to be able to see any other targets' it was a case of retry this and get a pleasing image. The key is when taking these not to blow out the core of the cluster so easy to do but this was spot on exposure . This is not cropped this is the full shot both the others got a small crop.

A third look at this Huge Star Cluster one of the biggest in the skies. This is the result of one night and 229 shot 2 min long. The real result is from a better understanding of Editing and a lot more time taking these shots.
