From: Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Interesting view of the Southern Sky To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 10:31 PM I found these over at the Bad Astronomy Blog at Discover.com and thought some here might find these interesting. Stéphane Guisard, who takes Deep Sky shots in an interesting way, took the following shots from Chile.
The first is from December 5, 2010, at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g77CxWquJEU&feature=player_embedded#!
Here is a link to the explanation on Bad Astronomy.

This is the same info from Stephane's website:

This is called Star Trails from the Southern Hemisphere from the same site:

This is called a Milky Way All Around:
Enjoy!
