One of the many people I had the chance to meet at the recent Starmus Festival in the Canary Islands was New Zealand-born photographer Max Alexander, a highly skilled professional long based in London. Max has photographed a huge range of subjects from astronomy to rock and roll and lots of other things in between.

Following Starmus, Max sent me a sensational star trail image he shot a few years ago at the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma, where this year we had toured the observatories. It really knocked me out, and I had to share it!

Enjoy!
