The sky is really very dark here in Pisco Elqui, Chile.  Perfect moment to take some nightscapes of the milky way.  There was a bit of light pollution lower in the valley, which made the mountains very good visible on the pictures.

Eclipse fever in La Serena, Chile

On our way to Pisco Elqui, Chile, to observe the total solar eclipse of July 2, 2019, we clearly felt the eclipse fever in La Serena.  The airport was full of information panels and at the airport everyone, including the police officers, was talking about the coming eclipse.

Tonight, we could enjoy very bright noctilucent clouds.  They were really bright and high in the sky.  An amazing view!
