Arizona Night Sky Time Lapse

A sequence of photos taken near Scottdale, AZ on December 31st 2008. Photos were taken on a Canon S5 IS running CHDK. The photos were then compressed into a video using VirtualDub. The manual focus drifted for some reason during the seeesion, sorry. My favorite part of this video is near then end where oyu begin to see more of the airplane traffic streaking through the sky.

@goatphilososphy Airplanes. The shutter was open for about 15 seconds for each frame (if i remember right), so the trail is actually just the motion of the airplane during that 15 seconds. :)

AT the 12 sec spot with it gets bright looks like a bomb went up you can see what looks like a puff of smoke or something
