Curaçao Skies

This page shows two images I took of the night sky above Curaçao. It also has maps of the constellations and stars appearing in my images.

The Map

My Sky Image

The first image shows a slice of the sky with Jupiter and the head of Taurus at the top, Orion and Lepus in the middle, and Sirius and its constellation Canis Major at the bottom. These stars are visible from Maryland but are halfway down the sky and not as bright.
