Zodiacal Light Roque de los Muchachos


Recommended Posts

First time I’ve ever seen this eerie glow after Sunset. Of course it was on La Palma (no chance where I live back home!). I couldn’t believe how clear I could see this reflection of interplanetary / cometary dust!! Yes - I captured a shooting star too.
What a highlight on my holiday and I just had to get a selfie too!! 
Canon 6D Rokinon 24mm.

ISO3200 20secs f3.2.

 Hope you like.

Super image.

Interesting (if you zoom in) there seems to be a flurry of faint meteors/satellites in the thick end of the ZL 🤔

Yes - I checked my lens for scratches but there aren’t any! For a 20second exposure I don’t expect to see that many but those faint streaks are definitely in the image. Satellites, plane trails perhaps???
