These two images demonstrate the improvement of the image through different telescopes and mounts but using the same camera.

The mother of all Gobular Clusters.  The mighty Omega Centauri.  NGC 5139.  This is one sight you have to see given the opportunity through a quality telescope and it makes our Northern Hemisphere colleagues envious.  At a distance of 15,000 light years it is composed of over 1 million Suns! Breathtaking!
