      Omega Centauri

      Here is Omega Centauri taken with the CHI-1 setup and accidentally drizzled 2x. I used Bernard Miller's tutorial on not blowing out the core of a globular cluster by using the Game feature in PI and doing iterative stretching. That is definitely going to be part of my process from now on!
