Details:
On a late October evening we witnessed an epic scenery on La Palma Island. We were on the rocky coastline near Puerto Naos scouting for new imaging sites. Suddenly the clouds parted and we saw the Milky Way like a pillar of light rising from the ocean’s waves.
We quickly set up our photo gear to catch this magic moment. To make the star patterns more obvious the stars were deliberately blurred with a diffuser lens filter. In the center of the image Saturn shines brightly. The foreground is from a second unfiltered shot made without tracking.
For the 4-minute exposure of the sky we used a purely mechanical tracker, the Mini Track LX2. We compiled a thorough review of the new lightweight sky tracker that can be downloaded as a PDF file here: http://www.project-nightflight.net/tests.html?33
