Star trails over Otto

One of the two ALMA transporters, nicknamed Otto, is pictured below star trails at the centre of which sits the southern celestial pole. The ALMA transporters haul the heavy ALMA antennas between sites, high up in the Chilean Atacama desert, and position them with an accuracy of millimetres where needed.
