La Palma 2020

I was on a very busy technical mission on La Palma.  Sadly, I could not find a lot of time to do some photography or some observing with the 30cm Dobsonian telescope there.  I could however do some first tests with my new Canon EOS R with 28-70mm f/2 lens.  The results are really amazing.  During a walk to the top of the caldera the first evening, I could see anti-crepuscular rays.  I could also take some picture of the night sky, a some very obvious sky glow and it was clear that Betelgeuse is very dim at this moment.
