About this image

The image was taken from the access road to the main observatories on Tenerefe.

It was quite windy and cold.

To minimise wind shake the tripod was placed in a sheltered position near some earth works at the side of the road

My thanks to Harry at Harrys Astroshed for processing guidance with this image
