Observing from La Palma
Trying to confirm the proto brown dwarfs … I already have the answer. At least part of it. Weather is not kind to us, at least tonight.
Mean while, several nice pictures, taken with my mobile.
Several telescopes at the rim of the caldera
The WHT at sunset
Thanks for sharing these great photos.
I’m just wondering where ESO would build its E-ELT is La Palma would be chosen as the site of location?

Hi Philip.
Actually, although I do not have inside information, I believe it is very difficult that ESO will decide to put E-ELT in La Palma. Probably, it wil go to Chile.
However, if the economical crisis finishes soon, and additional money is found, perhaps a second unit could come here. But remember that it is taxpayer money.
Thanks for reading and commenting this blog,
