I headed out last night about 10 pm last night and looked due south above the horizon.
I was able to see this beauty of the spring sky with ordinary binoculars:
Omega Centauri globular star cluster!
It appeared to be just a fuzzy patch of light but this is what it looks like
with one of my smaller telescopes (80mm f/6 480mm scope and Canon T3i camera body)
It is a stack of 30 - 5 second images at iso 3200.
Stacked in Affinity Photo and post processed with Luminar 2018.
FYI: it's apparent size through a binocular is LARGER than the apparent size of the Moon through the same binocular... just much dimmer!
