Although fairly low in the early night sky off Western Australia at this time of the year I managed to get this shot best two frames out of 7 taken over my roof line around 7:00 pm stacked in DSS and processed in PS. Grayscaled.

Nice shot. Maybe someday I'll get to observe somewhere where I can see Omega Centauri.

A couple of months ago I went to the top of a Pilot Mountain for a public star party where I got a view of Omega C, It was almost washed out due to light pollution.
Your photo is nice. That is one of my dream targets. One day I'll travel somewhere I can see the big cluster.
Keep on showing targets that the Northern hemisphere can't see. It is a joy to see what we are missing. Thanks.

For 2 subs, you have a great image. Why the grayscale?

NICE! I'm jealous that you live in an area where you can observe this fine cluster.

I went Grayscale on the image as I felt that this gave more depth to the field of view because of the number of stars involved
Thanks for the kind words
