Chasing the Milky Way in Tenerife: Astrophotography Adventure on Mount Teide

I spent a week exploring the stunning skies and landscapes of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, with members of my astronomy club. In this astro vlog, I take you through my adventure of astrophotography using the Move Shoot Move star tracker with a second hand Canon 6D and stargazing on Mount Teide at 2,200 meters above sea level. With our club 15'' Dobsonian telescope under some of the darkest, clearest skies in Europe it was an amazing experience. Join me as I attempt my first proper milky way panorama and try out some new lenses. Oh and we hike to the top also!

Looks like you had quite a great trip :D. I kinda expected this place can be quite busy but there were times when it was quite packed... but I understand why, buecause the landscape is just stunning.

Good video mate! Me and my mate went on an Astro Trip to Mount Teide back in March for some Milky Way shots, it's an incredible sky there isn't it and the views and landscape are insane! Nice to hear the shout out to Alyn Wallace too in your vlog mate, Alyn was the king of landscape Milky Way astro wasn't he. I'll subscribe to your channel bud and keep an eye out for more of your videos 👍🏼

Really nice that you got to film your astro adventure to the island! You also gave a good idea of the possible challenges there like calima, lots of cars and hikes that seemed 40 minutes but turn out to be 3 hours 😅. Glad you got some nice results despite of that! Wished you could have filmed more night footage!

curious, how visible was the milky way at nightime to the naked eye? and how did it look when taken on a phone?

Excellent video. I have a Canon Eos 1100d which has a crop sensor. Would that be okay for astrophotography? I really want to have a go at dark sky photography. Also would photo editing software like Lumina Neo be suitable for cleaning up images?
