Chile Pictures

Looking back, I noticed I should have added a few more pictures to yesterday's post. Here they are.

Here is CTIO on the globe (courtesy of Google Earth). The coordinates at the bottom refer to CTIO.


This is the view over La Serena. I'm using this one for my desktop background. That's the Pacific Ocean in the distance.


This is the 1 meter telescope I was using. 1 meter refers to the diameter of the lens.


I love the view.


Here's the outside of the dome for the 1 meter.


See those bumps on the hills? Those are Gemini telescopes.


On another note, www.fixedearth.com is a great read. I'm hoping it's a big joke.
