Fuerteventura night sky

[amateur-astro]

Hello folks,

I've been on holiday the last 5 days in fuerteventura, I must say the sky at night is absolutely amazing.

I wish I'd have brought so gear over here with me, I've got my s22 ultra, which I've snapped a few handheld photos, nothingspecial but hopefully you can see how amazing the sky are here.

1 second exposure with a Samsung s22 ultra on night mode. 

Pretty impressed myself.

I was there in June this year, but never managed to repeat the jaw dropping clarity of the sky at night over there from back in 2015 and 2019 - It was just after full moon and high hazy. Driving down towards the lighthouse at the southern tip of the island and national park, opening the doors and getting out... I miss that sense of awe and the utter beauty of it! You're just lost even with familiar prominent constellations. Andromeda, M81 & 82, M51, orion, easy naked eye objects. It's just incredible and gives me butterflies thinking what it will be like next time 🤞.
