DescriptionOmega Centauri by ESO.jpg |
The globular cluster Omega Centauri — with as many as ten million stars — is seen in all its splendour in this image captured with the WFI camera from ESO's La Silla Observatory. The image shows only the central part of the cluster — about the size of the full moon on the sky (half a degree). North is up, East is to the left. This colour image is a composite of B, V and I filtered images. Note that because WFI is equipped with a mosaic detector, there are two small gaps in the image which were filled with lower quality data from the Digitized Sky Survey. Coordinates Position (RA): 13 26 47.32 Position (Dec): -47° 28' 46.86" Field of view: 31.88 x 29.99 arcminutes Orientation: North is 0.0° right of vertical Colours & filters Band Wavelength Telescope Infrared B 451 nm MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope WFI Optical V 539 nm MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope WFIOptical I 783 nm MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope WFI |
