San Pedro de Atacama, Chile 7:51pm, 08/29/2016br/ Nikon D800 iso 3200 30s exp f/3.5 8mm 180-degree fisheye lens, tripod, cable release.br/ A Milky Way image. If you ever look at the summer Milky Way from Canada, it typically is cut off at the horizon at or very near the Scorpioniacute;s tail (this varies with latitude). But if you go to the Southern Hemisphere you can see the part of the Milky Way that is hidden from view to Canadians. The Galactic Core is at the zenith in the southern hemisphere's winter months. Looking straight up, one can see Scorpius, Antares, and all the beautiful nebulae and dark lanes that from home, appear on the southern horizon. This is one of the shots I planned on taking when an opportunity arose to return to Chile in the month of August.
