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.
