Description

In December 2023 I was on La Palma to take another panorama with an 135mm lens. I love this special look and it brings an extreme depth to the shot. Of course it is also very time-consuming to realize but the effort is worth it in my eyes!

What you can see here is the Isac Newton Telescope at the edge of the telescope facility on La Palma. It's really gigantic and sometimes makes scary noises at night.

This composition has been a dream of mine for a very long time. Too many astrophotographers focus only on the center of the Milky Way, which of course looks beautiful, but it overshadows some really beautiful areas of the Milkyway. The Cygnus region with its bright and vibrant star forming regions is one of my favorite parts of the night sky. You can see it on the top right of the image.
