Plouer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 My names Peter, I'm British, but retired and came to live in Tenerife 18 Months ago, the Island is a fabulous place for astronomy and although I live on the coast, within an hours drive I can be up in the Caldera of Mount Teide at 6,500 - 7,000 ft under wonderful dark skys.I own a 12 inch Skywatcher Dob and a Meade ETX 105, also a keen photographer, I am just starting out on a bit of Astrophotography but a bit limited with my equipment.My flickr site is https://www.flickr.com/photos/petetenerife/Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
