Milky Way over La Palma Observatory

Details

In July 2021 I flew with @florian orth for 2 weeks to La Palma. In this time I had some plans, among other things this picture. The Milky Way above the large telescope domes of La Palma's observatory. Actually, I wanted to choose a different image detail with more domes but when I saw this stone path during the climb, which fit perfectly as foreground, I wanted to include the with and insert myself yet.

We were also fortunately 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 definitely be for a long time!
