First Light from The Great Southern Shob - NGC2070

[DJT]

We christened the new Obsy this week with NGC2070. I love this Neb, and am in awe of the fact that if it were as close as Orion M42 it would cast a shadow on the earth.

The new Obsy , 100% hand crafted on the thighs of an expat scouser, is here.

Its called the great Southern SHOB because my wife thought I was building a SHed, whilst I knew I was building an OBservatory ;-)

Thanks Ross. Going to redo NGC2070 as it needs to be better framed and processed but just pleased to get everything running.

Am in Middle Cove so have a few LP issues :sadeyes:
