The telescope "jockeys" of the Orion Observation Group (OOG) had great fun observing, amongst others, the "Big 5 of the African Sky" from the farm, famous for the Deli-co farmstyle butchery, outside Riebeeck Kasteel.
This video includes some en route GoPro footage, a drone fly-over of the site and night-time time-lapse footage while we were observing.
The narration includes extracts of Carol Botha's observing logs posted on her website at http://carolbotha.co.za/
