Nice, looks like there's some variety in environment over there.

Did they allow you to look through the telescope?

Here's SOME (not all) of my pictures from my trip to Chile.  They only comprise about the first two or so days we were there, with a few odd pictures from other days just sitting around thrown in at the end.  The first group of them, in a city, were in Antofagasta.  Everything else is either the VLT (Very Large Telescope, at the Paranal Observatory), or random pictures of the Atacama desert or from the place we stayed in San Pedro de Atacama.

I WOULD have the rest of the pictures (those from my camera), but I cannot find the USB cable for it, currently, so it might be at my parents' house.  I'll try my best to find a memory card reader that takes xD cards as soon as I have some spare money, so I can get those put up for your enjoyment.

And now, here's the first Dropbox link, to the pictures from my phone:

(Yes, I DID totally take a selfie with one of the VLT telescopes)

That's great. From the sounds of it your trip was worthwhile.

Looking forward to the Dropbox link.

Hey all (if anyone still gets on here), I just got back from my trip to Chile!  I don't have any pictures of the night sky, sadly, because I didn't have my camera that could do that with me during the trip.  But I do have some nice pictures of the desert, the VLT, and ALMA.  None of the VLT pictures are on the platform with the telescopes, sadly, because the wind was too strong so it was a safety risk for us to go out there.  As soon as I have the pictures from my camera, I'll post a dropbox link with all of them for you all to see!

Sure thing.  Be on the look out for a series of dropbox links around the 11th of May.

Yeah sure, put up a few to share.

So over the past few months, I've gone on intermittently about how I'm going to the Atacama desert in Chile for about a week and some change (10 days, really) to stare at stars.  I'm going to be touring the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) facility, VLA (Very Large Array) facility, and the Paranal Observatory (hosting the VLT (Very Large Telescope)).  Besides these, we'll also be spending most of the time in-country staying at a lodge in the desert, using smaller scale telescopes (8 - 16 inches, MAYBE 20 at the most) to do observations of our own, and taking pictures of the sky/stuff in the telescope.

If anyone that still checks this would like to see pictures when I return, I will gladly overload/destroy Dropbox's servers with all the pictures I can bring back with me, to share with you all.

If not, I'll just balloon them up, print them out on the highest quality gloss paper, and stare at them endlessly until time ends.

Cheers!

Pretty much every conversation with Asherah Kaneda, but with random beep-boops thrown in lol

The lack of information is scaring me!
