Hello! I am making a short educational clip about stargazing in Tenerife, I was wondering if you had any of your footage available for me to use in my clip. You would be credited :) thanks
Hi Megan! That’s great! I did not save any of the footage (except for the actual video) and it is also in pretty low resolution (720p). There is a lot of free footage around that I think you can use. All the best and good luck!
we went up and saw absolutely nothing, being amateurs we had no idea that a full moon was going to light the place up to the same light pollution as a city centre... tour guide probably knew this full well already but obviously they still need to make money, so advice! make sure you check lunar cycle! do not go on a full moon if you can help it! still a good trip but a little ruined by the moon, had a better view of the stars out my bedroom last night in the centre of england
The video would have been much better if you had some pictures/videos of the night skies. It seems like you forgot what the main project was you wen to Mt Teide for.
Hi Yasser! Thanks for the question! Its called mt. de Samara. Here are the exact coordinates: 28°16′10.7″N 16°43′41.45″W We climbed the small hill there and the views where absolutely fantastic! All the best!
Thanks for your comment! Haha the truth about the 720p is that I used some free stock footage in this episode. And it was in low quality, 720p. And so the export of the film as a whole got a lower quality. But most of our uploads we try to keep to at least HD. Thanks again!
Hello :) Beautiful video! I wonder if you have any advise of a nice high place to watch the starts at night, where I can leave the car closeby! Thank you!
If I want to do some stargazing in Tenerife, what would be the best time of the year? Would you also say that stargazing on top of a mountain provides peak experience?
Thanks for your questions! If you are to check out the stars, you are up for something special! Best time to go is not so much connected to a season, rather, it’s more about weather. Try to go when there is no clouds, or at least when they are low level, because then you can get above them for clear skies. Also it’s best to go when there is no moon. (Unless you want to specifically check the moon out) it will be distracting as it shines. I sure recommend getting up high above the clouds. It’s easy, just drive up towards Teide! All the best!
Hi there! Great to hear you want to enjoy the stars! It’s a fantastic experience! There are not really any security issues. Bring warm clothes, something nice to drink and a fully charged camera and phone. Enjoy!
Thanks! Some of the photos was taken with my buddies cameras. Not sure exactly what the used but som older cannon camera I think. And I also used my GoPro (!) for a few of them!
