Beautiful shot Greg. Thanks for sharing!

Omega Centauri is such an amazing target. From my lattitude I can see it, but at 13 degrees above the horizon, it is still in the murk. Even with this, it is an unbelievable sight and seems to deserve it's own class of DSO.

Again thanks for sharing with those of us that don't get it directly overhead.
