This is amazing, good work. Something I have seen only a couple times on infrequent trips down under. Really looks like a big tarantula in my 4" travel scope at low power.

Everyone should put it on their bucket list,

Yobbo,

Keep bringing the pictures that us in the Northern Hemisphere are unable to see. One of my goals is to go to somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere to see the wonder of those skies.

Thanks
Mike
