Star trails over the GMT summit located in Southern Atacama desert in Chile :) Here you can see amazing dance of stars around the Southern Pole. But what is that at the very top of the mountain ?! These are the first towers which belong to construction of the GMT (Giant Magellan Telescope) - one of the biggest next generation telescopes (http://www.gmto.org/). The yellowish color of the night sky is probably due to a bit elevated level of dust content in the atmosphere. I hope you'll enjoy the image, and please feel free to share !

Nice picture! I was wondering if you or anyone else knows why no one has done a 24 hour star trail? Like in the arctic circle perhaps.
