Omega Centauri, the jewel of the southern skies, commands attention with its brilliant display of millions of stars packed in a gravitational embrace. As the brightest and most massive globular cluster in our Milky Way, Omega Centauri unfolds its celestial grandeur against the backdrop of the galactic halo.

Intertwined with this stellar masterpiece are the Integrated Flux Nebulae, delicate filaments of interstellar dust and gas that subtly reflect the combined light of distant stars. These faint nebular structures, often challenging to observe, add a layer of complexity and depth to the cosmic tableau surrounding Omega Centauri.

Captured in this image is the dynamic dance of light and shadow, where the brilliance of Omega Centauri's stellar ensemble harmonizes with the soft luminosity of the Integrated Flux Nebulae. The interstellar filaments, gently illuminated by the collective glow of background stars, unveil a celestial ballet that speaks to the intricate connections between cosmic elements.

This is the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy from an advanced request I did at telescope.live. I had to split it over 2 different nights to get it all due to issues with acquisition and while I didn't get all the luminance I intended it still turned out decent to me.

This is 3x 600s L, 5x 600s, R, 5x 600s, B, and 5x 600s G taken with an FLI PL16083 through Astrodon LRGB filters and an ASA 500N f/3.6.
