Gemini & Canis Minor

The stars travel through the sky. After Orion, Gemini appears. Beneath Canis Minor with its bright main star, Procyon. Two bright stars call our attention at Gemini, Castor & Pollux. Praesepe star cluster is shown at left, in Cancer.

The movements of stars is real, due to the Earth rotation. The speed is much faster in the video because it is made of frames 10 seconds long each one. 4 seconds for the shot and 6 seconds to record it in memory with the Casio Exilim camera.

Music by myself, in order to avoid copyright problems.

Hint: Add "&fmt=18" (without quotes) at the end of the URL in Youtube to see this video at the best quality.
