在清境到合歡山一帶
正好南邊-西南邊沒有遮蔽
是除了南台灣墾丁外
少數可以拍到南十字等赤緯較低的天體
當然也可以拍的到半人馬座ω
全天最大的球狀星團
用肉眼即可看見

Edited European Southern Observatory image of the globular cluster Omega Centauri. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: This VST image may be the best portrait of the globular star cluster Omega Centauri ever made. Omega Centauri, in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur), is the largest globular cluster in the sky, but the very wide field of view of VST and its powerful camera OmegaCAM can encompass even the faint outer regions of this spectacular object. This view includes about 300 000 stars. The data were processed using the VST-Tube system developed by A. Grado and collaborators at the INAF-Capodimonte Observatory.

Omega Centauri, a globular star cluster in the constellation Centaurus is about 15,800 light years away from where I was standing. Being 12 billion years old and having about 10 million stars, there were evidence that a black hole is pulling them together.

Location: SaharaSky Hotel Morocco.
A truly massive cluster, Omega Centauri is composed of seveal million stars and may once have been a dwarf galaxy that was swallowed up by our own Milky Way. Facts:
1. Distance from earth - 17,000 light years
2. Diameter : 230 light years
3. Apparent size : About the size of a full moon, 36 arc minutes
4. May have a black hole in its center, and distance between stars in the center may be 1/10 of a light year.
Omega Centauri, NGC 5139, é o objeto deste tipo mais brilhante no céu. Possui cerca de 10 milhões de estrelas nesse formato globular, que eu acho simplesmente magnífico! Essa imagem me fez perceber o quanto progredi no hobby em um ano e me deixou ansioso para mais capturas!
Omega Centauri, NGC 5139, it's the brightest object of its kind in the sky. It has about 10 million stars in this globular shape that I think is magnificent! This image made me realize how much I grew up in to the astrophotography hobby in a year, and it makes me anxious to do more captures!
Canon T3i modified, Sky-Watcher 200p (200/1000mm), ISO 800. Guiding with Asiair and ASI290mc in an adapted finderscope 50mm, Eq5 Sky-watcher mount and AstroEq tracking mod. Only 19 Ligth Frames of 60s, 29 darks and 50 bias. It was used an Optolong L-Pro filter. 19m total exposure. Processing on Pixinsight.

These lights across the lake and those from some of our rest-houses were the only artificial lights in view. Unprocessed photo.

This is Globular Cluster Omega Centauri, the brightest object of its kind, taken with this low cost imaging setup minus guiding (total cost around $300):

Camera was Pentax K-X driven by intervalometer from:
intervalometer.appspot.com/site/index.html
Total integration time was around 5 minutes with exposures of 30 seconds.
This was taken from beach house on Holden Beach, NC in April 2010
I thought I would try and see what this Glob was like through the bigger scope. I was pleased to resolve such detail through the centre. I used a combination of 1 minute and 4 minute exposures to try and avoid saturating out the core.
The Southern Cross region of the Milky Way. The cross is at the top right, on its side, with the coal sack (dark) nebula clearly evident. The globular cluster Omega Centauri is also clearly visible as the bright blob towards the lower left. A stack of 5 images taken with a Canon 50D DSLR at f4.5, focal length 50mm, ISO1600. Taken from Wanaka, New Zealand (ah, the joys of a dark sky!)

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the Omega Centauri globular cluster. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: An international team of astronomers has used more than 500 images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope spanning two decades to detect seven fast-moving stars in the innermost region of Omega Centauri, the largest and brightest globular cluster in the sky. These stars provide compelling new evidence for the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole. Omega Centauri is visible from Earth with the naked eye and is one of the favourite celestial objects for stargazers in the southern hemisphere. Although the cluster is 17 700 light-years away, lying just above the plane of the Milky Way, it appears almost as large as the full Moon when seen from a dark rural area. The exact classification of Omega Centauri has evolved through time, as our ability to study it has improved. It was first listed in Ptolemy's catalogue nearly two thousand years ago as a single star. Edmond Halley reported it as a nebula in 1677, and in the 1830s the English astronomer John Herschel was the first to recognise it as a globular cluster. Omega Centauri consists of roughly 10 million stars that are gravitationally bound. [Image Description: A globular cluster, appearing as a highly dense and numerous collection of shining stars. Some appear a bit larger and brighter than others, with the majority of stars appearing blue and orange. They are scattered mostly uniformly, but in the centre they crowd together more and more densely, and merge into a stronger glow at the cluster’s core.]

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the Omega Centauri globular cluster. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: A new discovery has resolved some of the mystery surrounding Omega Centauri, the largest and brightest globular cluster in the sky. Images obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and data obtained by the GMOS spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope in Chile show that Omega Centauri appears to harbour an elusive intermediate-mass black hole in its centre.
