Description

M28 (D) is a fine globular in Sagittarius, M5 (C) in Serpens is pretty bright while M22 (B) also in Sagittarius is a real beauty...BUT Omega Centauri (A) is the KING! :-) Each image is a simple 2min monochrome image made with an SX MX716 CCD and Meade LX200 12 GPS at F4 with virtually identical processing (M5 was lower and closer to Canberras light dome so its background was darkened just a fraction to more closely match the other three) Dont ya wish ya lived down under? :-)
