About this image

A recent trip to La Palma for Milky Way and Deep Sky imaging. Portable deep sky setup worked very well under the Bortle 1 conditions. Amazing the amount of detail that can be captured under such conditions in a relatively short time. Highlight of course was the detail of the Milky Way by eye and seeing the Lagoon Nebula.
