Description

Explore the night sky at a locations that is over the clouds with a certified Starlight guide. Unlock the secrets of the universe as you peer through a Computerized Dobson telescope to admire the bejeweled skies of the Teide National Park. Meet your guide in the Teide National Park at a location that is 2000 meters above sea level. After sunset, learn to recognize the constellations, understand basic celestial mechanics, and grasp the true size of the galaxy. Point the telescope through interstellar and intergalactic space to see huge nebulas of gas forming new stars, remnants of supernovae explosions, dense star clusters, and galaxies whirling millions of light years away.

Ask all your burning questions and even the most complex concepts will be clearly explained, with examples that are easy to understand. Connect a modified camera that is more sensitive to infrared to the telescope to capture long exposure shots that will show you the enhanced details and colors of objects that are impossible to see with the naked eye. All photos as emailed as a keepsake at the end of the tour.

Important Information

  • The starting time depends on the sunset time, so it will change with the seasons
  • The exact meeting point depends on the wind direction, as the telescope is more than 2 meters high and needs the area with the least wind, as such the activity provider will send you the GPS coordinates for the meeting point
  • If the weather conditions are not good for observation, it can be postponed for the next day or you can get a refund
