This dataset captures NGC 5139, better known as Omega Centauri, the largest and brightest globular cluster visible from Earth. The acquisition spans from March 6 to April 5, 2025, totaling 5 hours of integration time. All 60 frames were captured at 300 seconds each through Astrodon Gen1 E-Series Tru-Balance filters in blue, green, and red channels. The imaging train consists of an ASA 500N telescope paired with an FLI PL16803 camera, mounted on an ASA DDM85. This combination delivers the wide field and resolution needed to resolve individual stars across Omega Centauri's dense core and extended halo. The data is available under a CC BY 4.0 license for roughly $14.90 as a one-time purchase, allowing users to copy, modify, and redistribute the material with appropriate credit to the author.
