Private astrophotography · 5 to 6 h · Up to 4 people · Pick-up in the south · €250 for the first person, €200 for each companion

The same night under the Teide sky, but with the guide just for you and the plan made to measure for whatever you want to photograph. They pick you up at your accommodation in southern Tenerife, go up to the park, set up the equipment and accompany you from the first framing to the final shot. It is led by Stephen Phelps or Phil Cruz, the astrophotographers of Dark Skies Tenerife. It costs €250 for one person, and each companion, up to three, pays €200.
Made for what you want to capture
In a group a script is followed; in private you set it. If you have never done astrophotography, you start with night landscape and the Milky Way. If you already have practice, you can devote the night to the deep sky, with galaxies and nebulae, or to a combination with the roques and the tajinastes in the foreground. The session lasts five to six hours, but the timetable is adjusted: the company offers it flexibly.
The equipment, theirs or yours
They have EQ5 GoTo equatorial mounts, Skywatcher 72ED refractors and a Celestron NexStar 8SE, so you can take photographs without owning anything. If you travel with your camera, lenses or mount, the session serves to learn to use them at night. Afterwards they send you links, tips and tutorials for processing the images.
How to book
With the website form, with the date, how many of you there are and what interests you, or by email or WhatsApp. Pick-up and return from the south of the island are included. The website does not publish a cancellation policy or say what language the private session is in; the rest of its website and its workshops are in English.
Before or after, Teide by day
If it is your first time in the park, go up by day too: the cable car or the Roques de García trail show you in daylight the landscape you will later see at night.

## Consejos

### Choose a moonless night
Near the new moon the sky is darker and the Milky Way shows in more detail.

### Ask what objects are visible that week
Each season has its galaxies and nebulae; choose the date according to what you want.

### Bring food, drink and warm clothes
They do not provide them, and up there the night is cold all year.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### How many people can go?
Up to four: the first pays €250 and each companion €200.

### Do they pick me up anywhere on the island?
The website says they pick up at accommodation in southern Tenerife; for the north, ask.

### Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, and also for those who already have experience.
