Description
I discovered the southern sky from Patagonia.

The first sight was a bit distrubing. I know very well the nothern sky seen from France. When I look at it, I seen immadialtely the constellations. I known where are the most know galaxies, nebulae, star clusters. The first times I looked at the sky from Poincenont Camp, I have not seen any constellation, just anonymous stars, except the Southern Crux which is quiet obvious. I had to take my smartphone with SkySafari.

I had a lot of pleasure seeing the Magellanic Clouds, Eta Carinae Nebula, the Coalsack Nebula, etc.

Here we are near Poincenot Camp, in front of the Fitz Roy, Patagonia, Argentina
