Omega Centauri-2-Chile Two
NGC 5139 - NGC Omega Centauri, is almost 6 hours of integration in LRGB with Slooh's Chile Two Telescope. Omega Centauri (also known as C 80) is commonly classified as a globular cluster, the brightest observable from Earth. It is observed in the constellation of Centaurus. It is probably what remains of a dwarf galaxy absorbed by our Milky Way; In fact, a black hole was found inside. Omega Centauri can be observed without difficulty on clear nights even with the naked eye; However, its declination of -47° means that it is observable only from the fortieth parallel north, and that it is visible without difficulty only from the Tropic of Cancer. Some observatories have exceptionally seen it through a telescope and photographed it from the latitude of 42° north.
It looks like a third-magnitude star, apparently a bit blurry, northeast of the bright constellation of the Southern Cross; with binoculars or an amateur telescope, on the other hand, it appears as a large nebulous spot, spread over half a degree in diameter and brighter in the center. A powerful telescope is required for its full resolution.
Its declination is strongly austral, so this object is not observable from many of the inhabited regions of the northern hemisphere, such as almost all of Europe and most of North America; from some inhabited regions of the southern hemisphere, on the contrary, it is circumpolar. The best time for observing it in the evening sky is between February and August.
