First decent image with the new scope - NGC2070

Hi all,

I upgraded my scope from the SW72ED to a Saxon 102ED-FC100 triplet way back in September. And it's been rotten astro weather (or I had other things on that stopped me using it) ever since.

However, I was able to get out under the stars last Wednesday to see how well this thing works. I chose NGC2070, the good old Tarantula Nebula so I could compare new with old.

Two hours of data gave me the attached image. What do you think?

Cheers,
V
