Since our celestial tour was cancelled due to clouds in san pedro de atacama, we signed up for one leaving out of la serena to the mamalluca observatory. They have three large telescopes and super nice astronomers to tell us northern hemisphere natives what's up in the southern skies. We saw some nebulas and star clusters, and best of all - the Magellanic clouds which are galaxies not visible from the northern hemisphere. Unfortunately the Southern Cross was hiding tonight, but we saw Orion upside down!
