Repurposing the Danish 0.5-metre telescope
This photograph offers a rare view from inside the Danish 0.5-metre telescope, hosted at ESO's La Silla Observatory in northern Chile. The decommissioned telescope has been repurposed as a tool for astrophotography by attaching a consumer camera to its focus.
