Stars in Chile - our sky by night

 


Riding and hiking under the stars we offer to. Millon of stars everey night over our hacienda roof. Just 15 km a way from our hacienda is the famous Tololo Oberservatory show on the photo. The CTIO 4 meter Blanco telescope, silhouetted against the Magellanic Clouds (at left) and the Milky Way, as seen from Cerro Tololo in Chile. This is not a composite image. It was taken by Roger Smith using a 2048x2048 scientific CCD which has much higher sensitivity than photographic film, revealing greater detail in exposures short enough (20 seconds) to eliminate star trails. The CCD, normally used on the telescope pictured, was temporarily mated to a Zeiss Distagon 40 mm f/4 lens by a "camera body" made in house. The only source of illumination is starlight.

Souther Cross you can see from the Hacienda Garden.(See center photo:4 stars) Explanation: This breathtaking patch of sky would be above you were you to stand at the south pole of the Earth. Just above and to the right of thephotograph´s center are the four stars that mark the boundaries of the famous Southern Cross. At the top of this onstellation, also known as "The Crux," is the orange star Gamma Crucis. The band of stars, dust, and gas crossing the middle of the photograph is part our Milky Way Galaxy. In the very center of the photograph is the dark Coal Sack Nebula, and the bright nebula on the far right is the Eta Carina Nebula.
