First result from this year’s trip to Namibia, including two nights at the IAS observatory on the Gamsberg plateau using the mighty 28 inch Newtonian telescope for astrophotography. I came across this field of view when observing the supernova SN 2026cff in NGC 3660 with the IAS remote telescope and noticed the near-by, peculiar Hoag-type galaxy PGC1000714 with its ring structure.
