Omega Centauri (ω Cen or NGC 5139)

Looking at this photo that comment suits it perfectly as I remember the star of the start of the shows this view, almost. as a person who use to watch the program its one I remember very well those words and look foward to each week. There is a space we dont see and hope that "to boldly go" there is may be a log I should think about. I know the interest is very small the skill set is very demanding why its a case of you do question yourself is it worth the effort.

In the words of Captain Kirk " Beam me up Scotti " for another round of space exploration.......into the unknown and unexpected.

Many thanks to all these comment and this one that brought it to life and put it into perspective why we take photos these day with a real camera...

Hi Steve

As ever, I am very impressed by what you have achieved here.

I am sure that one day you will capture something which is new to science.. A new comet maybe, or a supernova in a distant galaxy..

Best Wishes, and a good weekend

Thanks for the thought but I am limited to 600mm but 500mm is the sharper end of the lens so I can get a bit more. the big lens is not so good in a light breeze as you can imagine it like a sail. Its all part of the learning curve also learning how to use Bahtinov focus mask for this lens I made my own. I am getting more comfortable in what I have to do as the images are collected, processed and displayed.

Glad you like the idea I will try a few others when there is no moon while I wait for M/Way season to come.

As my frend Herb said Deep Space..." to boldly go where no man has gone before"... that is except for Captain Steve Paxton of the Star-Ship Ipernity. I can see the Dedication, Time, Expertise, and Passion in the Image’s .
