Amazing southern night sky! The very knowledgeable astronomer showed us the most interesting sky objects using quite powerful telescope
Very good trip, to learn about the night sky. Our guide explained everything very well. Even though there was a little bit of light contamination because of the moonlight, we still got a lot to see (stars, planets, the orion nebuka, etc.)
