@Abadaman There are a few image "artifacts" in this sequence.. mostly I see a few areas of pixelation due to the compression used for this upload version, but there is also what appears to be a "hot pixel" in the upper left area of the frame - which appears as a white-ish star-like spot that stays put for the whole duration... This older carmera equipment is definitely not perfect :-) Thanks for watching!
@Crazyskullz This was filmed with a Canon SX10 (or maybe my older S5)... you should be able to film sequences like this with most any decent DSLR, using 5-10-second exposure per frame, medium-high ISO and fully open aperture. Cheers! =)
@jcmegabyte Thanks for replying so fast :D, so those are the settings I would need to set? Sorry, i know it makes me sound dumb, but it's difficult to get the hang of these DSLR tools when first starting to use them
@Crazyskullz I had to learn plenty when I first started, too :-) Your best bet to getting good results is to experiment a lot. For night work, the widest (most open) aperture is needed. Higher ISO settings allow better light gathering but also record more noise, making grainy images, so set the ISO only as high as you need to. You can test different shutter speeds right before you start your sequence. I find that f/4.0 (or less), ISO 1000-2000 and 5-10sec exposures work well.
@alphasxsignal You can film sequences like this with most any decent DSLR, using 5-10-second exposure per frame, medium-high ISO and fully open aperture. Thanks for stopping by! =)
@TheMasterchieflol That tripped me out the first time I made one of these time lapses, too... It's one of those things that's not always so easy to visualize without seeing a recording like this :-)
Nearly all of the fast-moving streaks are aircraft navigation lights, but there may also be a meteor or two. :-) At this wide angle, the few planets that are visible will probably not be distinguishable from all the other stars. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@JcmdiStockFootage - I watch these and it makes my worries seem meaningless. Funny how people have problems on a planet, while everything is so privileged. So much more to life than work. Money. And being rich. Nothing compares
Most of the things whizzing by are aircraft landing/navigation lights, but there are sometimes a few meteors in these sequences as well. :-) Thanks for stopping by!

I'm lucky to get good star viewing nights like this here in the suburbs. Still not as good as going WAY out in the desert, though :-) Thanks so much for stopping by!
ahahahahahah MAN YOUR GREAT!!! I think this is a wonderfull video, and probably the BEST EVIDENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL ACTIVITY over our heads! lol, all people trying to put fake ufo videos.... but this is by far the best way to have a sure capture!! I loved this video bro, thanks for doing it =)
I have a similar problem here, being just 40 miles north of Los Angeles... really clear nights with a *reasonable* number of stars is fairly rare. :-/ Thanks for watching! =)
I get depressed if I don't see the stars every few days ... there's been lots of rain where I live, so I came on youtube to see if people posted anything ... and your video was beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to make it!
You are always welcome to visit my skies! I film TONS of stars and night sky clips so there should be plenty to see :-) Do be sure and see the StarGazer series too (on the JCMegabyte channel). Cheers!

Your timelapse videos have gotten me looking into downloading CHDK and making my own timelapse videos. I had a Canon S1IS with built-in timelapse but that one apparently walked away. I have always loved this timelapse stuff. A great way to analyze weather systems, too.
CHDK is definitely worth looking into - especially for the price! XD It's easy to use, greatly extends the camera's capability and doesn't hurt the camera. You will probably need an app called "Cardtricks" to format the SD card so that you can boot CHDK when you like. Cheers! =)
There are a few meteors (and possibly one satellite) in this sequence, but most of the quick streaks are aircraft navigation and landing lights. There is lots of air traffic (helicopters, light planes, commercial airlines, etc.) at all different altitudes around here, so there is quite a variety of straight, turning and squiggly trails in most of my star spin timelapses. :-)
Did you use a camcorder with build in time lapse or did you use a DSLR camera with thousands of still images, as them are the 2 ways of doing this type of shot.
This (and all of my other star-spin sequences) was filmed with Canon S5-is and SX10-is cameras, which are sub DSLR (no mirror) using the CHDK firmware hack for intervalometer function. The exposure is about 15 sec per image at ISO400 with f2.7 aperture. There are a little over 2000 images in this sequence. This is an all-nighter, running for 8-10 hours. Thanks for checking it out! =)
@JcmdiStockFootage , Nice , its probably one of the best time lapse video's i have seen, and i have seen hundreds as i love them.
So you used a hack for your camrea and not a multi-function remote timer.
One of my all time favoritetime lapse is '' Startrail Timelapse Compilation - Nevada Nights '' by xenimaging , here on youtube , check it out if you have a minute or two.
If your camera has a fully manual mode and can do long exposure (10seconds+) at high ISO (400,800+) and large aperure (f/2.7 or less), you should have enough light gathering power to see stars. You will need a tripod and some way to take the pictures one after the other. An intervalometer is ideal. Holding the shutter down in continuous-shooting mode (if the camera has one) is also good, and as a last resort, manual actuation works but is terribly tedious! Do some tests and see what works :-)
Pleadies [The Seven Sisters (and also Subaru's logo)] comes into view from the top left at 0:20 seconds. Great job! I'm just now delving into time lapse photography.
Thanks for the great comment! For such a faint group of stars it's surprising how easy Pleiades is to spot, and how often it shows-up in my star spin sequences! Glad you enjoyed the show =)
@jcmegabyte I grew up on a farm with a very dark sky, '40s and '50s, so I was routinely able to see at least 15 to 20 stars in the Pleiades. It has always been my favorite little asterism. When I first learned those stars, the planet Jupiter hung just to the right of it and became the first planet I ever saw. This all because of an older brother who kept up on all this.
Thanks for pointing that out :-) I'm surprised it can be seen in these images. There is so much light pollution here I think I am lucky just to see the major stars at all! XD
Only a tiny fraction of one of the tiniest and youngest Galaxies in our Universe. Only about a hundred billion stars in Milky Way. But there are Galaxies containing trillions of stars. And hundreds billions Galaxies in our Universe. Anyone courageous enough to do the math? Anyone intelligent enough to comprehend result? Of course life exists in our Universe! The question is how many planets are inhabited? Thousands, Hundreds thousands, Millions, Billions? Not yet the day to find the answers...
That would fry my calculator for sure! XD Yep, there's sure a lot of "stuff" out there, and the view from Earth is so limited... Who knows what the next big leaps in technology will allow us to see and learn :-)
The question of whether life exist on other planets, is only one of the questions, in regards to what extra-terrestrial connection our species might experience. Do they exist in the same timeframe as us? Are they similiar to us? Are they close enough so that we could contact them?
When filming the night sky, I use anywhere from 8 seconds to 32 seconds of exposure time per frame, and shoot frames one immediately after the other, with no delay in between. I'll shoot about 1000 frames per sequence, if I use 32 second exposure per frame and leave the camera out all night. :-)
With so many other suns and potentially life-producing planets out there, it seems unlikely that we are the only forms of life around. But like you said - getting out there to find them is another matter, and until we develop better technology and beter understand the universe itself, we'll just have to wonder - or wait for some other form of life to make contact :-)
@MyTaylorfan13 what?! is that the average or something... b/c I once saw 7 in one night.... and many more throughout my life and I'm only 20... (it could also have to do with what we classify shooting stars as... if we're being technical or something)
There are numerous ariports around, at least 3 major ones and 4 smaller ones within 50 miles. Not only that, but major FAA air-traffic routes pass over this area as well. It is an unusual day indeed when there is no air traffic at all - almost freaky, like when all air traffic was grounded after 9-11. Thanks for stopping by! =)
Such beauty in the stars , theres too much smog in the sky where i live to see all the stars , i want just 1 starry night on friday at night so i could go on my roof and just chill
Sometimes even in the smoggiest, most light-polluted places, the wind and other conditions will be just right for some decent viewing. For us here in the Santa Clarita Valley, which is only about 35 miles north of smogville (Los Angeles), the best times are when we get "Santa Ana" winds from the north, which clear out all the smog and ocean moisture for some surprisingly starry nights :-)
@30secondstomarscam i totally agree theres no way that only 6 billion intellegiant life forms are on this small planet circling a rather smaller star. Amazing the possiblities out there billions of lightyears in space
Such great footage. I lose myself in the image and then glimpse an understanding that the Earth is moving in a sea of stars flowing past. Space window seat please.
@sk8 he is saying tell him that there isn't. these days nothing can really be proven, whether religion or alien life. but there could so easily be a million other earths nearby and we just don't know it.
Indeed - new discoveries are being made all the time and by no means are we anywhere near the end of it... new equipment, new techniques, and new ways of looking at things... who knows what they'll find and in the next couple of hundred years, if we humans don't wipe ourselves out before then. So many of our current ideas, theories and physical "laws" might be the laughing stock of the future. "Can you believe they used to think earth was flat and some giant dude held it up from below..."
At right center, with the three stars in a row is Orion. The three stars are the figure's belt. From our view in the northern hemisphere, it's actually inverted (more or less) so that when I was a kid (and was even less familiar with the constellations than I am now!) the overall shape looked to me more like an old-fashioned kite with a tail! :-)
I thought it was pretty amazing to watch when I made my first star spin timelapse... Gave me a whole new perspective on my position on the planet's surface :-) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! These were shot with Canon SX-10is and S5is digital still cameras, using the CHDK firmware hack and 10-30 second exposures (ISO400-800, f2.7). The software and compositing technique is somewhat complex, partially self-written and a bit of a trade secret, but there are a number of freeware apps out there to make the video from still frames - one such program is called "PhotoLapse", which seems to work fairly well. Cheers! =)
While most of the fast streaks you see here are aircraft navigation lights, there are a few meteors as well. There are actually far more meteors than this video shows, since only the very brightest ones can be detected by the equipment I am using. Hopefully, I will get better equipment soon and can show en even better view :-) Thanks for watching!
I'd say the odds of there being some other lifeforms out there are pretty good - but the odds of finding them may not be, until/unless our (or their) technology gets a LOT better...
I do allow free use of my vids and/or music (from most all of my channels) for non-profit purposes, such as non-commercial YouTube vids. You can read the full details on my website FAQ. I'll send you the link in mail...
@30secondstomarscam one of those small lights even may indicate a whole galaxy containing millions of stars, I'm 100% sure there's intelligent life out there.
@30secondstomarscam yh they are saying there might even b life in the milky way besides us nd then all of the other billions of other galaxy's out there
Be sure and see the compisted versions (star spins) of these night sky timelapses too - the streaks from aricraft and meteors say on the screen so you can really see them well! Thanks so much for watching! :-)
@lordraven456 Good man, There is a ridiculous amount of UFO and ET information to be found on youtube. People need to start realising we're not alone... Whether you believe it or not, they are here, they are very real and to most people's relief due to Hollywood's negativity... They are all friendly... We'd be gone a long time ago otherwise...

If your camera has a fully manual mode and can do long exposure (10seconds+) at high ISO (400,800+) and large aperure (f/2.7 or less), you should have enough light gathering power to see stars. You will need a tripod and some way to take the pictures one after the other. An intervalometer is ideal. Holding the shutter down in continuous-shooting mode (if the camera has one) is also good, and as a last resort, manual actuation works but is terribly tedious! Do some tests and see what works :-)

That would fry my calculator for sure! XD Yep, there's sure a lot of "stuff" out there, and the view from Earth is so limited... Who knows what the next big leaps in technology will allow us to see and learn :-)

@gekados
The question of whether life exist on other planets, is only one of the questions, in regards to what extra-terrestrial connection our species might experience. Do they exist in the same timeframe as us? Are they similiar to us? Are they close enough so that we could contact them?
Check out drakes equation :)

what settings do you have to film that?
stanlymanly2 1 year ago
This is about 15 seconds per exposure, ISO 800, f2.7... probably about 1500 images, taken one after the other all night long :-)

What shutter speed do u use??
TooGood4You1 1 year ago
This was about 15 seconds of exposure per frame, on a nice dark, clear night with no moon. I used a Canon SX10 for this sequence. :-)

How long do u wait until u take another photo eg. 5 mins
TooGood4You1 1 year ago
When filming the night sky, I use anywhere from 8 seconds to 32 seconds of exposure time per frame, and shoot frames one immediately after the other, with no delay in between. I'll shoot about 1000 frames per sequence, if I use 32 second exposure per frame and leave the camera out all night. :-)

With so many other suns and potentially life-producing planets out there, it seems unlikely that we are the only forms of life around. But like you said - getting out there to find them is another matter, and until we develop better technology and beter understand the universe itself, we'll just have to wonder - or wait for some other form of life to make contact :-)

@MyTaylorfan13 what?! is that the average or something... b/c I once saw 7 in one night.... and many more throughout my life and I'm only 20... (it could also have to do with what we classify shooting stars as... if we're being technical or something)

There are numerous ariports around, at least 3 major ones and 4 smaller ones within 50 miles. Not only that, but major FAA air-traffic routes pass over this area as well. It is an unusual day indeed when there is no air traffic at all - almost freaky, like when all air traffic was grounded after 9-11. Thanks for stopping by! =)

Such beauty in the stars , theres too much smog in the sky where i live to see all the stars , i want just 1 starry night on friday at night so i could go on my roof and just chill
IkutoTsukiyomi18 1 year ago
Sometimes even in the smoggiest, most light-polluted places, the wind and other conditions will be just right for some decent viewing. For us here in the Santa Clarita Valley, which is only about 35 miles north of smogville (Los Angeles), the best times are when we get "Santa Ana" winds from the north, which clear out all the smog and ocean moisture for some surprisingly starry nights :-)

@sk8 he is saying tell him that there isn't. these days nothing can really be proven, whether religion or alien life. but there could so easily be a million other earths nearby and we just don't know it.
jackscrack99 1 year ago
Indeed - new discoveries are being made all the time and by no means are we anywhere near the end of it... new equipment, new techniques, and new ways of looking at things... who knows what they'll find and in the next couple of hundred years, if we humans don't wipe ourselves out before then. So many of our current ideas, theories and physical "laws" might be the laughing stock of the future. "Can you believe they used to think earth was flat and some giant dude held it up from below..."

:50 what is that arrangement to the right hand side? Anyone know? That little cluster
Kaylawrites 1 year ago
At right center, with the three stars in a row is Orion. The three stars are the figure's belt. From our view in the northern hemisphere, it's actually inverted (more or less) so that when I was a kid (and was even less familiar with the constellations than I am now!) the overall shape looked to me more like an old-fashioned kite with a tail! :-)

Nice. What camera settings did you use for each frame? What software did you use to assemble the frames?
waterskippers 1 year ago
Thanks for watching! These were shot with Canon SX-10is and S5is digital still cameras, using the CHDK firmware hack and 10-30 second exposures (ISO400-800, f2.7). The software and compositing technique is somewhat complex, partially self-written and a bit of a trade secret, but there are a number of freeware apps out there to make the video from still frames - one such program is called "PhotoLapse", which seems to work fairly well. Cheers! =)

i neva new thr were so many shooting stars at night
13craun 1 year ago
While most of the fast streaks you see here are aircraft navigation lights, there are a few meteors as well. There are actually far more meteors than this video shows, since only the very brightest ones can be detected by the equipment I am using. Hopefully, I will get better equipment soon and can show en even better view :-) Thanks for watching!

i don't believe earth's the only planet with living creatures,
why would there only be 1/10000000000000000000000000000 planets/stars with living creatures???
wardxamy 1 year ago
I'd say the odds of there being some other lifeforms out there are pretty good - but the odds of finding them may not be, until/unless our (or their) technology gets a LOT better...
