Milky Way and Roque de los Muchachos Observatory

From the photographer: “In May 2019 I took advantage to return to my favorite spot for astrophotography – the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos in La Palma. My actual plan was to improve my tracking and panorama skills due to the low angle of the Milky Way during spring, which worked pretty good and gave me the opportunity to try more sophisticated projects like getting a good long exposure panorama of the rising Milky Way. I am very happy with the result and even got an honorable mention by the jury at Concurso Internacional Astrofotografia La Palma 2019.”

Technical details: 16 Single Shots, Nikon D810 + AF-S Nikkor 50mm, Vixen Polarie Star Tracker, ISO 2000 – 60 sec – f/2.5
