omega centauri The globular star cluster Omega Centauri ( NGC 5139 ) - a new image ( updated June 3rd )

[MikeODay]

A further go at trying to get the colours right; the changes are subtle:
- the colour across the frame is now more consistent;
- the star colours are now are as close as I can get them to what I think they should look like ( with daylight white balance and light pollution removed ); and
- the crop is a little less aggressive resulting in the retention of a few more pixels around the outside of the frame.

Thank you, but way to kind.  Really, it's just what happens when you are on holidays and the sky is completly clouded over - rework followed by tweak followed by more rework, etc., etc. .....

Thanks and yes, I might end up printing this one - it is one of my favourites.  An older version from 2017 even managed to get published as an APOD ( here ) -although I think this one is much better
