This is my first Mecha !
Sword Design by Pong Chang.
Name: Omega Angel
Faction: Omega-11 Unit
Type: Samurai
Target:Eagle Nebula, M16, Serpens and Omega Nebula, M17, Sagittarius ~5500 light years away.
Location:22&25-08-2021 Aberdaron, Wales, Bortle 2, 87-93% Moon.
Acquisition:49x120s iso800 CLS-CCD Total integration 1.6 hours.
Equipment:Altair 60EDF, 1xFlat60, Skytech CLS-CCD, Canon 1200D(astro modified), Skywatcher AZ-GTi, Sirui AM-284-EU.

Software:Astroberry, Ekos, PHD2 on RPi4.
Processing:Affinity Photo, Siril, Starnet++.
Memories:Low number of subs despite imaging over 2 nights as many rejected with elongated stars due to poor guiding at low altitude. Time on target also limited by encroaching trees.

This relatively wide field (1.7deg X 1.1deg) ilustrates the enormous size of of Omega Centauri on our sky. Composed of several million stars, including many giant blue and red stars, it is the largest globular and one of the closest.

By the end of 1990, it became clear it would indeed be the final summer of through loco-hauled services on the South Coast to Bomaderry. In the final weeks on 2 Feb 1991, the sun was high as grimy 4463 on a typical working headed north and passed over Omega's level crossing that linked the Princes Highway to Gerringong (since replaced by an overpass).
Omega Centauri has been known since antiquity. The Greek astronomer Ptolemy listed it in the star catalogue that he compiled in the mid-2nd century A.D. When Johannes Bayer assigned Greek letters to the brighter stars, he also mistook this cluster for a star, and designated it Omega Centauri.
Edmond Halley was the first to document Omega Centauri's nonstellar nature, listing it in 1677 as a "luminous spot or patch in Centaurus". Lacaille included it in his catalog as number I.5. John Herschel was the first to correctly identify it as a globular cluster, in the 1830s.
At a distance 15,600 light years, Omega Centauri is one of the nearest globular clusters to the Solar System. Its visual size of about 36' corresponds to a true diameter of 175 light years. As in all globular clusters, the stellar density increases rapidly toward the interior. The average distance between stars at its center is only about 0.1 light years.
Containing several million stars, and roughly 5 million solar masses, Omega Centauri is about 10 times as massive as a typical big globular, and about as massive as the smallest of whole galaxies. It is the brightest and most massive globular orbiting the Milky Way, and of all the globular clusters in the Local Group, only Mayall II (G1) in the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) is more massive and luminous.

Lightly armed, but heavily defended, the Omega-4 Fighter is mainly used as a patrol craft, keeping watch over the spaceways near inhabited planets
I got the itch to buy a new watch. I've had my eye on a Speedmaster for a couple of years.
I considered a special edition version of this watch (Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon) while at the Omega store in Las Vegas. I decided to pass that day.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we went to a jewelry store and I couldn't keep saying no to owning a Speedmaster.
The rest of the new Omega fleet, which is yet to be painted. The buses are in a temporary yard at the moment to give the Smith's fleet more space, until a new premises for Omega is found.
One of Omega's single deckers seen in the yard, sporting a comical blind which reads "Football Special - HAWAY the LADS", a slogan usually associated with Sunderland Football club. Being based in Gateshead it may be advised not to leave the depot with this blind on, although it does make for an interesting photograph.
Omega are to start full operation on Sunday 1st Feb 2014, having acquired two services, the 500 and the X84.

Omega Centauri Cluster at TSP 1May2019. T6/ES127/AVX. Just above the trees. Processed with N4 & PSE.
The Omega nebula is a large gas cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. This is a stack of 7 images totaling 22 minutes of exposure time. Taken with the IR-modified Canon Xsi at ISO 400 through the Celestron 9.25" telescope at 2350mm and F/10. Taken at 12000 feet above sea level on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
At present MG02 is the only painted double decker in the fleet. have a further four Tridents in the fleet, all ALX400 bodied, but they will operate in their ex operators liveries, until we can fit them all into the shop to be painted.

I got a new toy today… a beautiful new MacBook Pro — it absolutely flys! So tonight I have been getting it setup how I like, getting all my apps installed & settings just right.
What I should have been doing is finishing of my new How I Shoot article… now I've got this sexy new machince I don't really have any excuse not to get on with it so I guess you can expect it by the end of the week. Xox

Omega was the second warrior to be released into the Dreamscape, second only to Alpha, his creator. Unlike Alpha, he chose to fight rather than create. His protocols are such that the only being physically capable of defeating him is Alpha - as such, he travels the Dreamscape: an omen of death.
