Blackduck59 Posted October 3, 2020 #3559 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Has anybody got a photo to verify your guess? It's bed time for me but it seems pretty rude to post on a down under site when you have no intention of following up in a timely fashion. It's mid day for you and bed time for me on Vancouver Island 2147 hrs. and it's 0047 hrs in Ontario I figure d9704011 has been in the rack for some time.

I have been there. I am confident my post of La Silla, Chile is correct. You can go to bed and sleep well.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerro Tololo is about 100km south of La Silla. He has been telling me what telescopes they have at each site and insists the photo is La Silla.

I think we need a new rule ... if d9704011 posts a correct response again it should be ignored, perhaps declared invalid, and the person who posted that photo should post another one.

Cerro Tololo has one enormous observatory and several smaller ones. The photo on the left is La Silla (as shown in the earlier post).
