Off to Spain!
I am planning to spend much of the winter in Spain again. I will be returning to Sierra Cabrera in Almeria once more but will be in an improved location in the village of Cabrera. Although last year's site was pretty good it had a limited view to the south. This year's location gives much better southern views which looks away from the nearby village of Turre and has much darker skies. The terrace shown below (images courtesy of Santiburi Properties)will be the location of the telescope.
The image below shows one obstruction - Eagle Rock which used to be the nesting spot for the Bonelli Eagles which can still be seen regularly around the Cabrera skies. The skies surrounding this however are open and dark - with regular clear weather all winter.
