Tonight we will meet fellow Observatory observers in Vincuna. Then we will caravan to the site.
The town has numerous outposts offering stargazing trips.
Right here!
Heading to the hills.
Just nine kilometres from town.

Barely visible, the tiny bumps on the far peak is the Cerro Tololo Inter American Observatory.
Magellanic Cloud.
Only visible from the southern Hemisphere you say.
The observatory is a joint venture that includes the town. Its close proximity to Vincuna provides for easy access but perhaps not the best location in regards to some light pollution.
Our friendly guide did make note that we are here just for some general and fun findings. There is no scientific work done on site.
INTERMISSION,
what the ???
Hell Ya Intermission.
