I think Astro Bob made a smallish translation error there. The photograph was taken from Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife), with the mountains of the neighboring island of Gran Canaria on the horizon towards the east.Astro Bob wrote:ISON-Juan-Carlos-Casado.jpg
The finest Comet ISON scenic shot I’ve seen to date. It was taken by Juan Carlos Casado from up on a mountaintop on the island of Gran Canaria from the Observatorio del Teide (IAC) Nov. 21, 2013. Mercury is seen through clouds at lower left.
(When I visited Tenerife in 2011, I got close to the Observatorio, but unfortunately it was restricted access.)
