back to topics inicial page During my visit for astro-shooting I took those images at Observatorio del Pangue. The staff is very friendly and welcoming there.

Orion in mystic clouds
This image was intentionally taken through the faint clouds so only the brightest stars would become visable, which form the constellations. Put your mouse cursor over the image to see the constellation Orion and Canis Major Inicial Page Back to Gallery 
Magellanic Cloud
There are only 3 galaxies visible to the bare eye. Andromeda and the 2 magellanic clouds. Here you can see the 2 magellanic clouds only visible in the southern hemisphere. Hover over to see the details Inicial Page Back to Gallery

Just in Time =)
Only once a year, the city of Andacollo turns off the city lights for one minute. I happened at the right place at the right time. If the city lights were on there would hardly be a star visible. Inicial Page Back to Gallery

Milky-way rise in Valle del Elqui
The cool winter nights are one reason for an especially clear sky. The snow-covered Andeas in the back of the picture are over a hundred kilometers away. Only in winter you can see that far in this area. Inicial Page Back to Gallery
