May 2013 we visited La Palma again to do cycling, hiking and astrophotography. This short video shows some of our best moments. The time-lapse videos were recorded using a Canon G15 with a CHDK “patch”.
Clear skies!

See the Moon through a 1000mm Newtonian telescope. This short video gives a first impression of how it is to look through a telescope. Since everyone already saw the moon without a telescope this is a good object because it allows an easy comparison. My telescope has a focal length of 1000mm. As camera I have use the DMK31AU03.AS from “The Image Source”. More details on the equipment can be found on the equipment page. If you are currently thinking about buying your first telescope, maybe this simplifies your decision 🙂
Clear skies!
