Hi Glen,
Congratulations, Henize 70 is a very faint object (mag14?). I seem to recall seeing it through Gregg Thompsons 18inch many years ago from west of Warwick. I think it is believed to be a supernova remnant that was first noted by Karl Henize in a catalogue of LMC nebula in 1956. I have seen other catalogue numbers N70 and LH120 for this object? There is a lovely plate of this object (63) in The ESO book Exploring the Southern Sky - which in my opinion along with Hartungs (both volumes) are still 2 of the very best books ever produced for Southern amateur astronomers to hunt down some faint fuzzies.
