An extraordinary adventure with the club. We started three weeks in May 2010 in , a journey of 5,500 km from to San Pedro, making many raids on the slopes of the Andean altitude. The sky was not perfect as we expected. But in the camps on foot domes of La Silla Paranal or lost in the middle of the pampas, we made some excellent observations with our own travel gear. For my part, the use of T400-c is a real pleasure, gear totally adapted to this kind of situation….. NGC 6337 is watching shamelessly, provided you push the magnification on this ring almost perfect.

Very nice sketch. This is one I need to add to my observing list and
it’s not that far from the bug nebula (NGC6302).
