From naked-eye stargazing to deep-sky astrophotography, this blog explores the night sky as it’s meant to be experienced: far from light pollution, guided by science, curiosity, and real field experience. Here we share practical insights, observing tips and stories from Tenerife’s skies.
Materials, mechanics, and vibration control behind our giant portable telescope In the first article of this series, I explained how the size of our telescope was ultimately determined by a very practical constraint: it had to fit inside a van and inside our garage....
How engineering, logistics, and a passion for deep-sky observing led to the creation of our giant Dobsonian telescope In astronomy, aperture matters. The larger the telescope, the more light it collects and the more details we can see in distant galaxies, nebulae, and...
The human eye has evolved primarily for daytime vision and for perceiving moving images. At night, it needs time to adapt to the dark — a process that takes between 10 and 20 minutes, during which the pupil gradually dilates to collect as much light as possible....
The transparency of the sky, the quality of the air and a strategic geographical position close to the Tropic of Cancer make Tenerife one of the most suitable places in the world for astronomical observation.
