Gemini South Star Trails
This picture was taken @ the Gemini South Observatory, Cerro Pachon, Chile. Over a period of one hour and with forty minute exposure, the arc of stars was able to be recorded. Off the upper left edge lies the South Celestial Pole. There are two wide streaks show the path of the Magellanic Clouds, satellites of the Milky Way Galaxy, and a meteor just left of the observatory. Lights on the horizon are from La Serena and Coquimbo.
