Diamonds in the Sky - Paranal Observatory seen from VISTA. (1080p)

A full night at Paranal Observatory, thin clouds creating a brilliant diamond effect on bright stars (this isn’t a photoshop effect). This is easily my best timelapse yet. Please feel free to leave comments. For those interested, the lasers are used to create sharper images using a technique called ’adaptive optics’.
