Puerto Rico Astrophotography

You might be an amateur astronomer if

you center your vacation time around the New Moon.

These are photos from my trip to Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico Astrophotography - Big Dipper constellation, Canon 60Da

 This is the panorama of 4 images. Location - Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort, Puerto Rico. Canon EOS 60Da, EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens, ISO -3200, F6.3.

This photo can be used for a question "What is the latitude of the observer?" Palm trees in the image  give the clue to this question.

It is interesting how well known constellations (like Big Dipper) look from different places of the world – Puerto Rico, Yellowstone, Grand Teton.

Puerto Rico Radio-Telescope Arecibo Observatory

There are photos from my trip to Puerto Rico. Arecibo Observatory is one of the famous radio observatories in the world. I still remember photos of the radio telescope in astronomical books which I saw when I was young.
