Pictures from Chile (finally)
« on: May 26, 2014, 02:55:24 PM »

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)

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

Did they allow you to look through the telescope?

We couldn't use the VLT, no.  That was during the day so you wouldn't see much with it, anyway! Haha.  But we did have some nice, 16 - 20 inch telescopes we could use at the place we were staying.  As soon as I get an adapter for my camera's memory card, I'll throw up the pictures from ALMA and the other places we saw, as well.
