Panorama near CTIO Peak

Posted on April 06, 2008 by Juan

It was beautiful outside when I arrived yesterday, so using my cruddy little Casio Exilim camera, I shot 16 pictures of the view from outside to dormitories near the peak of CTIO. Here’s the panoramic image I stitched together from those 16 images. It’s not nearly as impressive as the real view. It covers about 180 degrees of the horizon. Click on the images for the largee versions.

Here’s a version of the image with some of the features/telescopes labeled (yes, I misspelled dormitories in the image, its not worth fixing it right now).
