Saw Omega through 14X100 binos at astronomical twilight this AM from 38 degrees north latitude. Perhaps the earliest in the winter I have been able to spot it. Spica had not quite culminated. Seeing Omega from home has become a bit of a "stupid pet trick" as Johnny Carson used to say, also something of an astronomical winter time rite of passage.

If you can see Gamma Velorum from your site, about 6 hours later you can find Omega Centauri in the same spot.
