View from the JCMT Driveway

I set up a camera outside the front door of the JCMT, on which I'm the observer for the University of Hawaii. Gemini ran their adaptive optics laser for the first part of tonight, and this is a still frame from a timelapse sequence. The landscape is lit by a nearly-full moon.

 

On the left of Gemini is the Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), and to the right of it is the University of Hawaii 88-inch telescope (UH88) and the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). The shiny dish in the foreground is the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO).
