Shooting the Tarantula (NGC 2070) - Live from Southen Sky Observatory

Southen Sky Observatory, Namibia

When planning the Southern Sky Observatory project, Tal and I made a point of replicating, exactly, the feeling of shooting an object out in the field...

We sought to give our friends and us the feeling of actually "being there", directly interacting with the familiar interfaces we have grown to love.

Sitting in front of the MaximDL familiar screen, and performing all the familiar tasks from many thousands of miles away, and having an online view of the scope's every move, was - for me - the greatest and most satisfying feeling of all.
