Star trails of the celestial equator in Somuncura, Argentina

The celestial equator is at the same distance from both celestial poles which is why the stars seem to travel in a straight line during a long exposure. In this 120 minutes exposure the south celestial pole is towards the top left of the image while the north celestial pole is below the horizon towards the bottom right.
