And So It Begins

The summer season of adaptive optics lasers and the milky way is finally here. I was up for 25 hours straight and shot photos through the night atop Mauna Kea. Keck hosted me, and I ran four cameras filming timelapse (two inside the domes!) plus a fifth camera for stills.

 

Andrea Ghez, a professor at UCLA, was using both Keck telescopes to observe the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Shot on a Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 fisheye.
