One week astronomy-holiday on Tivoli Southern Sky Guest Farm, about two hours car ride away from Windhoek airport. This is one of the few places in Africa where the tourists leave with less suntan than they have arrived. :-) See also timelapse movie of this week. The star pictures are single frames of it.
