Milky Way Season

Dark skies above the Roque de los Muchachos observatory

La Palma's volcanic ridgeline sits above the cloud layer, making it one of the clearest dark-sky sites in the northern hemisphere. Across two new-moon weeks I tracked the galactic core from dusk until it set behind the caldera, pairing long exposures with star-tracker mounts to hold detail in the core.
