JKT star trails
Star trails over the Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope, La Palma.
One from the archives, taken in July 2001 during a visit to the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory at La Palma. Shown here are the 1-metre Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope (centre) and down the hill at lower right is the 2.5-metre Isaac Newton Telescope.
Some atmospheric airglow is visible in the sky. Most of the bright stars of the Plough asterism are visible at upper left.
This was shot on Kodak Elitechrome 200 ISO slide film and then digitally scanned. Nikon FM2 SLR and Nikon 28mm lens. Single 20-minute exposure.
