The Globular Cluster - Omega Centauri
What can I image in the far Southern Sky in under 5 minutes? (3)
The Globular Cluster - Omega Centauri Discovered by Edmond Halley in 1677 NGC 5139 is better known as Omega Centauri. It is the most luminous Milky Way globular and the brightest globular cluster in the sky. With a 5 million solar mass, it has about the same mass as some of the smallest galaxies. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/sou...ky5/south5.htm Martin Nicholson, Daventry, England. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/1/1a.htm Visit the Astronomical Hall of Shame at http://www.geocities.com/queen5658/
