Description

NGC2070 - aka the Tarantula Nebula, lives in the LMC some 170,000 light years away. This thing is huge. To put it in perspective, if it were at the same distance as the Orion Nebula, it would be casting shadows on the earth.

I have imaged this before, but this is my first light for my new observatory, The Great Southern Shob.

Its called a Shob, because my wife thought I was building a shed, but I knew I was building an observatory..buwaaah,ha,haaaaa
