During the Astrophoto School portion of Starmus, at Teide Observatory on the summit of Tenerife, I had the good fortune to finally meet and spend some time with a longtime contributor to Astronomy, Damian Peach. Damian is well-known as one of the greatest planetary and comets photographers on the planet, as you may know.

Before leaving the main Starmus event, on September 27, 2014, Damian took this incredibly cool selfie with the Milky Way.
