10,000 km galactic bridge between France and Chile

lImage Description and Details : Hello, 
With french photographer Maxime Oudoux, we realized a nightscape together. We were 10,000km apart to do it We share with you the result of this important project. 

The somewhat crazy idea was to photograph the Obstech observatory - Observatorio El Sauce (in Chile) and the Saint-Véran observatory (located in the French Alps) under the winter part of the Milky Way, on the same date, with very similar hardware (see below), with the same settings and with a 6 hours lag. 
You should know that we were separated by 10,000 km! 
The difference in sky quality is notable between these two observatories. Indeed, the sky of El Sauce is more stable than that of the observatory of Saint-Véran. Moreover, you will notice a difference in the sky background between these two images showing a darker sky in Chile than in France. Also, the light pollution of Turin is visible on the dome of the T62 of the observatory of Saint-Véran! 

EXIFS 

For the shots that make up this assembly, the ground was taken with exposure times of 30 seconds and the sky was taken with exposure times of 8 seconds (without tracking mount). The photograph taken by Maxime in Chile was taken with a defiltered Nikon D750 and with a Samyang France 35mm f/1.4 lens on a simple tripod. The photograph taken at the Saint-Véran observatory was taken with a defiltered Canon 6D and with a Samyang 35mm f/1.4 lens on a simple tripod.
