Tenerife, Canary Island / Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 650D, Canon EOS 550Da, IGUS Slider Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary Islands, is a paradise for amateur astronomers. From the perspective of the night sky, I show many fascinating images in the Canadas del Teide and the mountain regions nearby. A highlight is the rising of the summer Milky Way over the neighboring island of Gran Canaria with the Lagoon Nebula M8.
