Did you know that the Canary Islands, including Tenerife, are one of the best astrophotography locations in the world? Come and see for yourself! Examine the currently visible celestial bodies of the Solar System with a telescope, look for nebulae or galaxies and take pictures that you can keep after the program. The program is led by György Farkasréti, a member of the Hungarian Astronomical Society and, in the past few years, has been named one of the best astrophotographers by National Geographic magazine.
