240 still photos joined together in two different ways to produce timelapses of the rotation of the night sky around the pole over a 7 hour period.

Shot at the Stockport Observatory, to the North of Adelaide, SA, home to the Astronomical Society of South Australia.

I've gotta say - I'm well pleased with this one! :oD


Music is "Play Dead" by Bjork and David Arnold.

    great capture of the nebulae and milky way!
  • Martin Whipp 1 year ago
    Thanks

    The Nebulae I think you're referring to are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds - local galaxies.

    I tried this with my Nikon D50, but I can't find the proper software to "compile" the shots (the second part of your video) and I'm on a mac - any tips would be appreciated
  • Martin Whipp 1 year ago
    Not too sure Jake. I used a package called K3 CCD Tools to compile mine. It's an astro program.

    Perhaps something in Photoshop would let you do it?
  • Jake Read 1 year ago
    Hey Martin!
    I just tested this out in my backyard (Got lucky with a pretty starry night)
    vimeo.com/1963880

    It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. But thanks for the help, and awesome video

    You can also get star trails by making long exposures. That might help you Jake. Use whatever the maximum time your camera will let you. Usually 30 seconds on a DSLR.

    what camera and lens ???
  • Martin Whipp 10 months ago
    EOS 350D, Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm and F4.
    45 second exposures with at ISO 1600 with noise reduction on....

    ...And a hairdryer! Very damp night!

  • Goldenboi24k 10 months ago
    Can you explain the "image stacking" ??
  • Martin Whipp 10 months ago
    Hi GB,

    Your best bet is to go on to Tom's web forum at Timescapes.org

    I put a post on there shortly after I created this and explained it all there - too much to fit in here.

    That is amazing, my feeble brain is struggling to comprehend how cool that was.

  • David Suggitt plus 8 months ago
    Very nice! wondering how the stacking works. I have a few moonset timelapse shots I'd like to test it out with. I'm using AE CS3.

    We're impressed. Would you be interested in doing some commissioned work for us in immersive time-lapse?

    Awesome! I love my 8 inch SCT - just wish I got to use it more but NYC hardly ever has the best seeing and it's usually in January when it's well below freezing...uggh!
