Under the Namibian Sky - The Movie

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.

The music is beautiful as well. Whose music is is? Thanks!

Is it possible to see anything even remotely close to something like this with the naked eye? If we go someplace really dark? I live in USA, sometimes dark is hard to find here :-(

[loreastro]

Yes, in USA there are many great places, such as the western deserts in California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

I loved this, and the music too.

Wonderful! Thank you so much! Here in central Europe with its light polluted sky it is easy to forget what the nights really look light. Thanks for marking some major objects - with all these stars I got a bit disoriented at first. I used to live in Hawaii, though (long time ago), and up at Mauna Kea Observatory the view is very similar. Your film reminded me. I am getting nostalgic...

한국에선 이런 밤하늘을 관찰할 수 없다는 것이 너무 아쉽습니다.

너무 아름답습니다.

Thanks for posting and labeling these objects and constellations. Many I have heard of but I live in the North and can't ever see them -- from where I stand.

[Cynthia Beneteau]

Thanks for replying back. I am at least a little closer to those places :-)

Hi Liam, your questions are welcome, so feel free to ask again. A rectilinear 14 mm is a great lens, without curvature distortion (it is not a fisheye). You can see some examples e.g. in my latest TL, "Ice in the Night".
