at 11mm, 30 sec f/2.8, ISO 100, Malargue, Argentina.

Questa è una delle 1600 taniche che compongono il rivelatore di superficie dell'Osservatorio Pierre Auger, nella provincia di Malargue, in Argentina. L'osservatorio serve a rivelare i raggi cosmici di altissima energia che raggiungono la terra dallo spazio, in modo da scoprirne le origini. Nella foto sono visibili la croce del sud e il Centauro. Costellazione, quest'ultima, dove risiede la più vicina radiogalassia Centaurus A, da molti considerata in pole position tra le possibili sorgenti di raggi cosmici. #NightPhotos

Very interesting! If you go back, you could try in a moonless night, and with the background of the core of VL! Now if I am not mistaken there you would have in the early evening.

Monday I will be back there ;) The last time I went to a meeting, which is done when the fluorescence telescopes (the other detector) are not in operation due to the moon, so there was little choice ... this time instead of just going to make the turn at the telescope, the problem is that this will work at night but I hope to find a time to go for photo:-D
