The Giants of Omega Centauri 4.5

This week I chose to do the picture of Omega Centauri, the largest of the 200 globular clusters in the Milky Way. It contains about 10 million stars, and is located about 15,000 light years away and is about 150 light years in diameter. The giant stars in the cluster are colored yellow as a result of the combination of numerous colors. Some of the red spots, most of which are red giant stars, are actually more distant background galaxies.
