Most beautiful places for stargazing-Atacama Desert, Chile by spacerip
A picturesque oasis village - turned tourist hot spot - San Pedro de Atacama, located in northern Chile, is one of the best places in the world for stargazing. The Atacama Desert's crystal-clear skies and dry climate allows observers to view celestial wonders that are impossible to see in other parts of the world. Few will forget the sight of some of the astronomical treasures of the southern hemisphere, such as the 'Southern Cross', which includes a cluster of sparkling young stars aptly named the 'Jewel Box' ef tours.
SPACE offers 'star tours' which are ideal for the amateur astronomer. The tour begins with a guide to the constellations of the southern hemisphere, visible to the naked eye; on a good night the entire zodiacal arc is able to be seen. The second part of the tour takes place in a large park of telescopes, where you can observe the moon (and even photograph it through the telescope), Mars and Saturn as well as a multitude of breathtaking nebulae

Atacama Desert, Chile: Luxurious ****Terrantai Lodge San Pedro de Atacama
San Pedro de Atacama has accommodation for every price point: camping, hostels galore, 4 and 5-star hotels Including some that run $1,000 US per person per day, or rent a hammock. I debated long and hard about where to stay before choosing Terrantai Lodge right off the main street in San Pedro and was thrilled with this choice.
Four-star Terrantai Lodge is constructed with natural stones, has a very congenial staff, delicious buffet breakfast (including yumm-o Quinoa cookies - it took me a while to learn how to pronounce Quinoa - Kee-No-Wah or Keen-Wah) and mucho strong Pisco Sours. Great wi-fi and Terrantai Lodge gives each guest a goodie bag on check-in which includes a refillable water bottle to use at their cold water dispenser and, most important, prompt wake-up calls. When an excursion begins at 4:30a, guests do not need a hotel that forgets their wake-up call.
Terrantai Lodge was happily perfect in every way...

Atacama Desert has Chilean astronomers seeing stars
Chile leads the world when it comes to space exploration and hosts some of the world’s largest instruments for observation of outer space. Correspondent Harris Whitbeck takes us to the Atacama Desert to behold the mysteries of the Milky Way from the driest desert on earth.
Large telescopes dot the Atacama Desert in the northern part of Chile and offer the ideal conditions to study space from Earth. The high altitude combined with a lack of moisture and light pollution provide a near-perfect view of the night sky.
Chile is working on another piece of equipment to look skyward as well. Construction has started on the extremely large telescope or E-L-T. Its diameter is a whopping 39 meters, which is nearly five times the size of the four telescopes currently being operated at the Paranal Observatory.
Check out Harris Whitbeck’s report from this rugged terrain on the Pacific coast and see how Chile is becoming the global superpower of space exploration.

Timelapse San Pedro de Atacama ???? Chile
Un asombroso timelapse registrado en San Pedro de Atacama, Chile ???? Muestra el ciclo de la puesta del sol, el paso de la noche, hasta llegar al amanecer. El registro fue grabado en poco más de 12 días y se escogió el Desierto de Atacama al interior de Antofagasta por contar con uno de los cielos más limpios y libres de luminosidad de la Tierra ???? Nótese la emocionante cantidad de estrellas fugaces que guardó todo el registro ☄

3 days in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
We rent a bikes and went to the Valle de la Muerte. We rent a car - what is way cheaper than go to organized tour with bus and went to Lagunas Antiplanicas and Salar de Atacama and Salar de Talar. Third day we spent in Valle de la Luna. The nature is just unbeliavable. Highly recommed!

3 day tour from San Pedro de Atacama to Salar de Uyuni
An amazing 3 day trip from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni with a great driver and a great tour guide from White & Green International Travel.
Due to the unusually rainy weather around San Pedro de Atacama we had to wait 2-3 hours for the permission to cross the border, but once we got in the jeeps and started our trip in Bolivia, we enjoyed every moment. I have never experienced such a vast range of landscapes in short distances. Once it felt like being in Lord of the Rings, other times in Star Wars or in Once Upon a Time in the West haha.
We visited natural beauties, enjoyed breathtaking views, soaked in hot springs, and had wonderful traditional dishes in great accommodations with hot showers and enough blankets to warm ourselves up at night. Respect to our driver, Vladimir and our tour guide, Sebastian, they did a great job. Whenever we needed some extra time at a spot, they always waited patiently for us.
Make enough space on the memory card of your camera/phone, dress in layers and get ready for one of the best trips of your life, guys!
Shots were taken with Samsung Galaxy S9.

STARLIGHT: Deserts of Chile - 4K (UHD)
Ever since I started astrophotography I’ve waited to visit the dark skies of Chile. I took advantage of the total solar eclipse of July 2nd to give me a ‘good excuse’ to go there and shoot astrolapses as well. For a bit more than two weeks, Alyn Wallace and I roamed about some of the driest areas and darkest skies on the planet. This short films tells the tale of an otherworldly experience filled with many challenges and stunning scenery throughout the deserts of the South-American country.
Chile is unlike any other places on our beautiful planet. The climate there is very strange, especially coming from northern Europe. While the southern part of the country is colder and more humid, the northern part offers some of the sunniest and driest places thanks to the Andes blocking most of the clouds. The high plateaus (Altiplano) actually extends for miles from South to North and even in the winter time, the astrophotography possibilities are almost endless and seemingly easy to come by. During our two weeks around La Serena and Atacama, Alyn and I have almost not seen a single cloud or a major gust of wind. Moreover, despite the growing light pollution around the arid plains, the night remains one of the best on Earth. There, the nigh it is quite long (from 6:30PM till 6AM), and the air is thin and pure to allow less scattering and a clearer view on the stars. So theoretically it was possible to shoot every night.
But that’s in theory. In practice, Chile ended up being the most challenging environment to shoot in so far. It’s even more extreme than shooting the northern light by -35 degrees Celsius in Sweden! Even with a good acclimatization at 2500m, the altitude (~4300m sometimes), fatigue, cold (-11 C sometimes), the constant dust lifting off the ground took a serious toll on our health. In turn that prevented us from shooting every night for two weeks. After both falling sick several times, we simply had to give up even though we’re usually quite resistant and resilient. The desert is a serious hostile environment and unfortunately the movie does not show it. That’s without mentioning some of the other challenges we had, like puncturing a tire in the middle of nowhere, breaking my 70-300mm Tamron lens an hour before the eclipse, or almost having a fit at 4800m of altitude.
Fortunately though, the experience of being under such beauty and shooting it was well worth the trip. The film only features 2 sequences of the total solar eclipse, but the photos cannot do the real thing justice, even in an environment that looks like Mars. I tried my best to diversify the shots and compile them into this short to showcase how jaw-dropping the Chilean desert are at night. At the start of the movie, I featured my first ever night hyperlapse, which is quite hard to achieve, even under a full moon (uneven terrain, anchor points hard to find…). From the flowering cacti in front of the milky way galaxy to the turquoise slaty lagoons reflecting the stars, but also the arid but singular salt flats, the deserts of Chile truly are a unique place for nightscapes. I had two main shooting challenges this time though. Firstly the car lights (many tourists coming around the eclipse) which lit up some sequences (I had to remove some frames and some of the sequences got a bit laggy). The second problem was the difference of light between the sky and foreground. Indeed the sky was very bright and the ground very dark in comparison, so I often had to push the ISO to 10K and 12K, or bump up the exposure time, which in turn resulted in less clean sequences. All in all the experience was incredible and I am quite stunned by the results I got. I hope you enjoy this first opus in my new timelapse series ‘STARLIGHT’ dedicated to the darkest places on Earth.
