Windows Onto The Universe: Astrophotography on Tenerife and La Palma

Timelapse video highlights some of the amazing locations we visited during our astrophotography phototour of Tenerife and La Palma.
Few places on Earth, and certainly in Europe, offer such a wonderful opportunity to view our Milky Way, the wider cosmos, and deep space objects, as the Canary Islands. And none more so than Tenerife and La Palma. Their location close to the Equator provides a perfect view of the skies over the entire Northern Hemisphere and part of the Southern Hemisphere.
The Canaries languish in the path of the northeast trade winds which conjure Los Vientos Alisios, pillow-soft layers of thin cloud that envelop the lower slopes of the islands, but leave the tops clear. It is this cloud which helps to block out most of the light pollution escaping from the towns and villages far below, guaranteeing perfect visibility on 90 per cent of summer nights. These islands are therefore ideal 'windows onto the universe', rivalling the well-known astronomical hotspots of Northern Chile and Hawaii, and are home to some of the most important international observatories.

Ronald Linkenhoker thanks. We had planned to go back this year with photo tour clients but unfortunate Covid-19 has stopped this. Looking forward to getting back there in 2021

I’m only using local trails early in the morning. I just found your channel via Heini Hefti. Very glad that I did.

L'umanità dovrebbe guardare le stelle, conoscere i mondi diversi e magari andarci, ma non fare le guerre. La verità è nella scienza! (La verità è là fuori.😁The truth is out there.)
