Overview

The activity is personal in small groups with each guest having access to either a motorised mount or a equatorial telescope. Each guest will get the opportunity to try both pieces of equipment. This is a great introduction to astrophotography and the opportunity to try expensive equipment before investing their money.
The dark skies of Tenerife are well known and at 7000ft above sea level we are often above the low level clouds. The lunar landscapr offers lots of opportunities for night time landscape photography called Nightscape and this combined with the unusual rock .
