Return to Shelob's Lair - NGC2070 in NB

A new project, revisiting an old favourite with the widefield 'scope.

Inspired by an image of Bert's (Avondonk) from a few years ago, this is a test on NGC 2070 to see if I could isolate most of the nebula in context, with the new ST70t.

Pretty poor seeing and just 4x30mins each of HA, O3 & S2 but enough to get a feel for the image to come. Also with the poor run of weather, I'll take what I can get right now

My plan is to go VERY deep on this, hopefully at Snake Valley Astrocamp at the end of this month.

I'm keen to reveal more of the tendrils below the spider itself, so I'm probably looking at 30+hrs on this. Will see how it goes
