We recommend watching this video at FULL SCREEN (1080p), with audio on.
The night sky of Namibia is one of the best in the world, about the same quality of the deserts of Chile and Australia. This 13 min video contains about 250 hours of actual exposures, gathered at Tivoli Farm, Namibia, during 10 perfectly cloudless nights.
Any comment is welcome.

  • Where can I buy a tripod like @12m53s? Thanks. Great video by the way :)

  • @terratec365 It is an old Manfrotto tripod. You can find in any online or offline shop.

  • @loreastro I should have made myself a bit clearer - what is the mechanism the camera is fixed to, that is attached to the tripod, used to track the stars? I'm looking into doing long exposures of the night sky/stars. A link for what I'm after would be great. Thanks.

  • @terratec365 Ah! I've added a rotating head to the tripod. I've modified an old equatorial mount for telescopes able to rotate 1 turn per day (sidereal speed). I've no other pictures, sorry. Maybe one day or another I'll add something on my website.

  • Do you have any intent to sell a downloadable 1080p version of this? Would make an excellent wallpaper.

  • @etherael You can download for free from my website. See link in description.

  • I can always count on inspiration from the heavens. The cure for writer's block: the night sky

  • Southern skies are wonderful...thanks

  • @twocementshoes Glad we agree on one thing: you can be brilliant and still be wrong!

  • @loreastro Ah right. Thanks.

  • Cherry picking a few scientists won't cut it pal -- you can be brilliant and still be wrong. The clear majority of scientists are atheists and "agnostics".
