Astrophotography on La Palma with the 10micron GM1000HPS mount

Two times I was already on La Palma to do astrophotography and to explore the beautiful island. But it was a long time ago. The desire to visit La Palma again - this time with modern and sophisticated astrophotography equipment - was great. After two years of pandemic and many uncertainties, La Palma seemed to be a good option to spend the summer vacation 2022 there. After long planning to rent astrophoto equipment from the ATHOS Star Campus in Las Tricias and thorough research regarding suitable Fincas near Puntagorda, I went to Isla Bonita for 14 days during the new moon phase in August 2022. Unfortunately the weather played caprioles. After initial rain - in August on La Palma a rarity - then came the Calima with hot temperatures and high clouds, which covered the whole island. This made the ambitious astro program more difficult. The rented finca south of Puntagorda was almost ideal as an astro observing site. The beautiful terrace tiled with natural stones offered a passable view to the southern sky despite some high trees. The view to the Atlantic Ocean 500m below was terrific! On seven days I had rented a 10micron GM1000HPS plus Aries tripod and powerbox from the ATHOS Star Campus. In addition I had brought my Image Train with A&M TMB LZOS 115/805 APO, the large M82 Riccardi Reducer and ASI6200MM camera and filter wheel in the flight luggage. I had to book 30 kg of additional luggage at high cost to be able to transport a total of three suitcases plus hand luggage with Condor. The entire equipment is very similar to the mobile astrophoto setup I use at home, so that I had very quickly set up a working system. This short video summarizes my astrophoto journey to La Palma and gives a quick inside of the veritable 10micron GM1000HPS mount.
