Let $Omegasubseteq mathbbC$ be the field of all constructible numbers (i.e. $Omega$ is the smallest subfield of $mathbbC$ which is closed under taking square roots). What is known about the automorphismgroup of the field $Omega$?

Every constructible field which is finite over Q has Galois group which is a 2-group. All finite 2-groups give constructible extensions of Q by a well-known theorem of Shafarevich. So the galois group you want is the inverse limit of all 2-groups.
