Newton Observatory, La Palma
Captured under the exceptionally dark skies of Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma. These observatories sit atop a 2400m high volcano with strict regulations on light pollution. Not sure what bortle class this is, but I have never seen the Milky Way like this. Making it a dream for astro and nightscape photographers. Rho Ophiuchi (in the Scorpius constellation) rises right behind this dome making for a grand scene. Tracked and stacked 17x 180sec exposures on a hydrogen alpha modified Sony A7IV.
