Another successful trip to La Palma. For this trip the plan was to try out the new Artemis 11002 wide field CCD camera for deep sky images. The AstroTrac TT320 mount was also put through its paces for Milky Way and constellation images. Daytime photography of the beautiful Observatory site featured the production of panoramic shots of the telescopes.
