As NASA recently warned, the light pollution caused by the boom in satellites is indeed "wreaking havoc" on astrophotography. Photographer Daniel López tried to shoot a telephoto timelapse of Comet NEOWISE this week but was thwarted by SpaceX's Starlink satellites.
Using lens compression to capture a giant moon is nothing new, but photographer Daniel López has taken things to a whole level. He set up an ultra-telephoto lens about 10 miles (16km) away from a volcano and captured this mind-blowing 2-minute video that shows a moonset in real-time.
There's been a lot of gear talk today -- both serious and comical in nature -- so we thought we'd shift gears and share a little bit of inspiration in the form of a gorgeous time-lapse of the night sky over the Canary Islands.
