The beast sees first light in Southern Hemisphere

I bought this scope from a chap in the US and, after about 2 months of building pedestals, customising trailers and figuring out crane logistics, she finally saw her first glimpse of the Southern hemisphere skies.

Swan nebula, Eta Carina, Omega Centauri, Tarantula nebula amongst others were all simply awesome.

I'm in love
