If you like astrophotography then La Silla is the place to be at – or the region around, so the nearby telescopes of Las Campanas are equally a good place to set your own equipment. Attached you can see a photo of the Milky Way – with the 3.6 meters telescope in foreground. This was done by my colleague Robert Filgas, with 60 seconds exposure and 3200 ISO. If you want to see professional photographer’s photos – have a look at Serge Brunier’s webpage (sergebrunier.com), who was also in La Silla at my time there. I told Serge one could see our own shadow cast by the Milky Way – by the Universe itself, under such clear skies. Imagine what such photo will be!!
