And it does not have any pass on the way. Regarding. None of us took Diamox in this trip. I only insisted on lots of water and drinks and just slow down on movements. Do not exert too much. Quote:

| Senior - BHPian | Ok this is the last set of photos from the trip(off course there are alot of unposted pics there). This was not really a happy day, and you know the story in my last post. but should not have lost my photography opportunity because of that mishap. but it was out of my control. I was upset, so here is what all I can capture with a sad mind . Cheerful gang, last night, even after that bad experience. Unfortunately I forgot to shift to AF after having MF for the star trail pics. And I was using IR remote to click, so is the reason for all out of focus pics    Some view from outside Scientist Lodge    High Energy Gamma Ray Telescope          2M OPTICAL INFRARED TELESCOPE  |

Ok remote regions of Ladakh have some of the most clearest skies in the world. but most of the remote places in Ladakh has to be approached through some pass which makes it approachable only during some part of the year. Hanle is the place which is the remote, clearest sky, and no pass in the route. So its connect all around the year from Leh and then from world via air. Though its not really a very wide telescope but it have given some of the best pictures of stars and galaxies. You can watch it on there sites. Its managed by Indian Astronomical Observatory, Bangalore, but these people have to never visit this place. Its accessible remotely 24X7. Generally a visit from manufacturer once in a month for general checkup and repair. In case you visit there some time, talk to Mr Dorjee, he has some really funny and interesting stories to tell. Like how the rail door stuck when they closing it for rain and the had to run from base to scope to close it manually, Cleaning the lens etc etc The control room inside the telescope is well equipped with tools and TV with all channels  . You can read more here : IIA > IAO > About Hanle BTW IAO planning to build a much much bigger telescope at Pangong, and that's the reason the road work from Hanle to Pangong via Chusul is in high radar of BRO, which again have no pass I guess Last edited by rkbharat : 13th July 2010 at 09:13. | ||||||
