  August 10, 2020 – the first Night at Tenerifes famous Roques de Garcia. While there was still a low crowd of stargazers for the upcoming Meteor Shower – I was able to sneak into the middle of these weird looking lava rocks with my camera. In the end, I spent all night at the same spot because the amount of possible composition made me walk on air.

  Since I am mostly getting stucked in more time-consuming long exposure panoramas instead of shot and run adventures, I was forced to stay there until moon rise and got more and more fascinated by the ghost-face-like looking caves of the Roque Las Cuevos – the Rock of Caves.

  Damn that was creepy and hard work, but the scenery with the Milky Way behind and being the lucky child with a beautiful Perseids Meteor in front of the Rho Ophiuchi region makes this panorama one of my favourites so far! It’s made of 12 single images in a 3×4 pattern, tracked with my Vixen Polarie Star Tracker and 60s exposures. The Shooting Star runned into frame of my untracked foreground exposure and was added to the exact position afterwards

  Furthermore, I released a Photography Documentary about Astrophotography at the Teide National Park in Tenerife including a Photo Series of tracked Milky Way Panos. If you want to see the full Photo Series check:
