<\/a>Resting VLT and airglow “ribs”<\/p><\/div>Would you imagine, how many pictures of the sky can you produce from one-week trip<\/a> at La Silla<\/a> and Paranal<\/a> observatory? Well, after long silence I took a look at the data from my January trip and found out I still have lot of to do. So here we go, this is another result. It shows majestic Milky Way<\/a> over the resting VLT dome of the Paranal observatory, as it was resting due to clouds. Actually, besides the beautiful sky and many emmision nebulae, there is something special. Take a closer look right from the dome and you will see unusual structures of the green airlow<\/a>, seemed like a ribs. The shape of those gravity waves<\/a> were caused by vertical atmospheric streams as over the Andes the clouds continued hudreds of kilometres to the Argentina as very strong thunderstorm. Same thunderstorms produced also the naked-eye-visible Red Sprites<\/a> as shown on my pictures on ESO site<\/a> and following. Well, really wild night… Captured on 27th January 2015, used Canon 6D IR Baader Modified, Samyang 24 mm, f2.0, ISO 8000, ISO 52x15s stereographic panorama.<\/p>\n Check out more in video: ESOcast about Red sprites<\/strong>
