Milky Way above the observatory of La Palma
Details
In July 2021 I flew to La Palma with @florian orth for 2 weeks. During this time I had a lot of plans, including this picture. The Milky Way above the large telescope domes of La Palma's observatory. I actually wanted to choose a different image section with more domes, but when I saw this stone path on the ascent, which fitted perfectly as a foreground, I wanted to include it and add myself.
Fortunately, we were also rewarded with perfect conditions on our first night! No wind, no Sahara dust and no clouds (which are very rare anyway) 😀
This picture is one of my best and will be for a long time!
