Forgotten Glob - Omega Centauri

[StuartJPP]

Pretty rubbish, being noisy and with no star colour, but to be expected for only 90 seconds I suppose.

Taken in Fuerteventura last year, this was just a test to see how it filled the frame as it was really low on the horizon (about 13 degrees). I fired off 3x 30 second subs and then chose a different target that was a bit higher in the sky. Forgot about it until I was going through some old images looking to recover some disk space so had a quick process. A slight crop because one of the 30 second subs was the initial framing sub and was a bit offset and the other two were in the centre.

Makes M13 look quite tiny in comparison.

I love it.  Globs fascinate me.  The sheer number of stars rammed into such a small space is quite astonishing.
