A sky horseshoe
Deep night from 2nd to 3rd October 2013. An amazing conditions of sky in National Park El Teide, Tenerife, allowed me to make very unusual portrait of sky. Down there you can see terrain of park with peak of volcano El Teide and above it – high around zenith – there are two columns. First, of course, is Milky way. But the second one is much more fainter – zodiacal bridge with Gegenshein. Just in two seasons is possible to capture a composition of both in one like a horseshoe; spring and autumn. Used Canon 450D IR Mod, Samyang 8 mm, f4, ISO 1600, 76×30 s.
El Teide and Milky way
Another image shows calm night with “wild” colors of sky above El Teide. Green “clouds” are parts of airglow. The sky was just so clear, literally on touch. Canon 450D IR Mod, Samyang 8 mm, f4, ISO 1600, 54×20 s.
