Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image features the Gemini North telescope during laser guide star operations (LGS). This time lapse image consists of roughly 40 images edited together to create a star trails image, with an attenuation on the earlier images, which makes the earlier images appear to fade out. Shot near the summit of Maunakea, the glow of nearby Waimea can clearly be seen reflected in the low cloud cover. Also prominently featured in the image are the new solar panels that have been installed at all of the Gemini Observatory facilities. Technical Details: The composite image consists of 44 images shot with a Canon D1X and 14mm lens for 30 sec each exposure over an hour interval.
