Omega Centauri

Omega Centauri is one of the
most spectacular globular clusters in the
sky, but very hard to shoot from California
as it just barely clears the southern horizon.
For me, things are a bit worse as there are
distant hills in that direction and this year I
even had to trim some nearby bushes so that
their branches didn't get in the way!
