**Milky Way Pano at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory / La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain**
In May 2019 I took advantage to return to my favorite spot for astrophotography – the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos in La Palma. My actual plan was to improve my tracking and panorama skills due to the low angle of the Milky Way during spring, which worked pretty good and gave me the opportunity to try more sophisticated projects like getting a good long exposure panorama of the rising Milky Way. I am very happy with the result and even got an honorable mention by the jury at Concurso Internacional Astrofotografia La Palma 2019

Afterwards I started a documentary project about astro-landscape-photography at the Canary Islands to share my adventures, background stories and well deserved fails of these adventures.
