A path leading to the lighthouses of Fuencaliente subtly lit by the lantern, located at the southern tip of La Palma in the Canary Islands. The Milky way is arching above the ocean. moderate orange and green airglow as well as lights from the town of Faro can be seen beyond the volcanic ridge on the right.

Annual Geminid meteor shower of 2021. Panorama of 3x3 fields taken with Pentax K-5II and Samyang 24mm F1.4 lens during the peak night in Malá Fatra Mts., Slovak Carpathians. The prominent mountain is called Kľak (literally something like 'Kneeling Mountain'). The weather conditions were just on the brink for night sky photographing - frosty and very windy with clouds passing by from the north (from behind the mountain Kľak).
Star fields taken @F/2.0 12x 15s.
Meteor tracks selected from more than 300 shots @F/2.0 15s
Landscape (bottom row of the panorama) taken @F/2.8 1x 15s during early morning hours (cca 1.5 hour before sunrise).

Above the clouds and weather at an altitude of 2400m, these two telescopes, among fifteen at the Observatorio Roque de Los Muchachos on the island of La Palma are preparing for another night of intensive research as daylight begins to fade.

The Milky Way setting over the Observatorio Roque de Los Muchachos (alt. 2400m) on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) on Oct. 5, 2015. Air glow (orange / green hue) can be seen close to the horizon as well as the lingering effect of the "Calima" phenomenon and the red illumination of some of the buildings caused by rear car lights. The CANARY laser guide star is emitted from the William Herschel Telescope. It was extremely windy that night and keeping the camera steady even on a tripod was a challenge.

Photo of the William Herschel telescope (with laser guide) at alt. 2300m with the Milky Way during moonrise at approx. 0215 West UTC.

PS
the first night the moon's been up since I got my scope.
just as the moon became visible, a big big ol' storm front moved in. I had about a 3 minute window when I could take some pictures, so I tried, in a frantic rush of setup and not really focusing right, and mosquito bites.
anyway: there are a few good ones, maybe, and a few interesting ones too, like this one, with the clouds and the setting sun illuminating the whole thing.
this one, for the telescope people, is prime focus and as it came out of the camera, no crop and such.
it's a 90mm aperture by 1000mm focal length refractor.

Stars rising over fiery clouds as seen from Pico de La Cruz (2351m) on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) on Oct. 6, 2015. The towns of Barlovento and Los Sauces are below the clouds. Light pollution laws on the island are the strictest anywhere in acc. with the "Sky Law Act" (see first link below). The constellations are Taurus and the Pleiades. Airglow (orange / green hues) is visible above the clouds.

Data for folks who want it:
Telescope: Celestron Astromaster 130eq (who knows what year, my Dad bought it used)
Telescope eyepiece: Celestron 15mm
Nokia Lumia 1020's Nokia Pro Camera app set to 200 ISO, 1/100th shutter speed, EV -1.0, WB to fluorescent, and focus set to infinity.
Then I took the shot about 30 minutes before sunset, as the moon would not be so luminous / glowing. And it took me about 12 shots to get the camera settings and the angle of holding of the camera phone over the telescope's eyepiece right. ;o)

MAGIC-II is one of the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov twin telescopes located at the Observatorio Roque de Los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands.
I was barely able to capture a time-lapse of the scope just before it's observing session ended during moonrise and daybreak. I had to crop a sizeable amount since the photo was taken from quite a distance. The instruments are extremely sensitive to any electronic disturbance. The green laser emitted from the William Herschel Telescope is reflected on the mirror assembly. Above the telescope the Andromeda galaxy can be seen as a faint smudge, while iridium flares can be seen below it and at far right.

A wide 10mm / 25s shot showing a portion of the Milky Way as viewed from my camping spot at Pico de La Cruz (alt. 2351m) along the rim of the Caldera de Taburiente on the Island of La Palma (Canary Islands).
A meteor at centre as well as faint zodiacal light can be seen on the right and above the foreground. The Pleiades star cluster is on the right, and the faint smudge of our neighbouring Andromeda galaxy is at the very top centre of the frame. This cross section of our Milky Way galaxy is fainter than that with the hub which was already below the horizon at the time. A red filtered headlamp was used to "paint" the foreground without compromising my night vision.
Conditions were perfect, and with the exception of the faint zodiacal light there was no moon or light pollution. It was, however, quite windy and chilly.
Note: the "ghost" effect of the signpost and tent was caused by the fluttering of the tent in the wind during this single long exposure.

Another try at capturing M42 Orion Nebula with NGC1977 the Running Man Nebula. This is an integration of 70x30sec exposures at ISO1600 through a Celestron 130EQ Astromaster riding on top of a SkyWatcher StarAdventurer with a unmodded Canon T5. Not the most ideal setup since the scope is overly heavy for the mount but still ended up with a half decent shot.

Above the clouds at an altitude of 2400m during evening twilight "blue hour" at the Observatorio Roque de Los Muchachos on the island of La Palma in the Canaries. The Calima phenomenon (dust-laden air from the Sahara) as well as airglow contributed to the brilliant atmospheric hues. Several of the fifteen telescopes can be seen silhouetted in the foreground on Fuente Nueva ridge as they prepare for a night's work, including the William Herschel Telescope with it's laser guide. A faint meteor can be seen at upper left.

A fish-eye view of the Milky Way over the salt ponds of Fuencaliente on the southern tip of La Palma (Canary Islands) on Oct. 8, 2015. Note the airglow (green / yellow / orange haze) and the reflection of the stars in the ponds. The lighthouses are to the right. More about the salt ponds at salinasdefuencaliente.es/en/our-history/

Silhouette shot of self along the GR131 (Transvulcania Trail) on the Caldera de Taburiente near Pico de la Cruz (alt. 2300m). Taken during evening twilight "blue hour" looking toward the Observatorio Roque de Los Muchachos on the island of La Palma in the Canaries. The Calima phenomenon (dust-laden air from the Sahara) as well as airglow contributed to the brilliant atmospheric hues. A few telescope domes can be seen silhouetted in the distance on Fuente Nueva ridge as they prepare for a night's work. The crescent moon and Jupiter are visible on the left.
