Measuring the night sky
On the road with Daniel Verschatse, owner of the Hacienda and founder of its observatory. Daniel is measuring the darkness of the night sky to preserve the valley’s dark sky as an international dark sky reserve. The red light in the image is for visual effects only. During the actual measurements no lights are allowed.
The imags shows the bright band of the Milky Way along with our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (the fuzzy spot right behind Daniel).
