The Spanish version of “A Breathtaking Window on the Universe: A guide to the observatory at the Roque de los Muchachos” has gone to the printers. It will be on sale as soon as the books arrive, in about 2 weeks. There will be extracts on the Dragon Tree website very soon.
The Daily Telegraph travel section have a rather good article about La Palma, and they mention my book, right at the end. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/sunandsea/9867981/La-Palma-guide-the-forgotten-Canary-Island.html
The Spanish version of my guide to the Observatory of the Roque de los Muchachos is in layout. I hope to have it on sale in early February.
A very Merry Christmas to you all. (The William Herschel Telescope has a laser to measure atmospheric turbulence, in order to correct for it. But really, it’s very low powered and no danger to flying reindeer. Santa is quite safe.)
