A star party was held at the Parador Turismo hotel in the Teide National Park. Brilliant – I’ll be able to get some great shots of the Scorpius region. So here is a single sub from the Canon 5D MkII. What’s that running along the edges of the hills? Yep – good old light pollution. O.K. so it was a night of bad seeing (couldn’t even see the Milky Way) as the air was clagged with Sahara dust – but it shows the problems you can encounter in what’s meant to be one of the better observing spots on the planet 🙁
