By the young Moon

By the young Moon

During stay in Chile for international Fulldome expedition of ESO, I could also get far from the observatories to see the beauties of the Chilean desert itself. One of the places we stopped for a while with Babak Tafreshi on 10th April 2016, was close to the Miniques and Miscanti lagunas, about 100 km south from Chajnantor Plateau. What a horrible shame we didn’t have more time to see the wonderful lagoons itself! However, the weather was not perfect and the young crescent Moon illuminated the night scape, so I used the moment to capture at least this view. The distant peak is volcano Miñiques, gently quarding the two bright stars above – Alpha Centauri (yellowish) and Hadar (bluish one). Pink-colored Carina nebula and two Magellanic clouds reminded me that I was watching the trearues of the southern sky in the moment. The red airglow was really prominent and even the moonlight was not strong enough to outshine that. Used Canon 6D IR Baader modified, Samyang 24mm, f2.8, ISO 6400, 45x15s panorama from tripod.
