First Light from The Great Southern Shob - NGC2070

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 ;-)
