Time Lapse Night Sky

The starry sky revolves around the North Star over 2-1/2 hours on the morning of August 13. Several Asia bound jets cross the sky and a couple of Perseid Meteors flash by. The Earth's rotation is speeded up by 275x

very nice . .how did you do this?

[GoletaBrian]

I set up my camera to take a 10-second long exposure every eleven seconds. That way the shutter was open more than 90% of the time. The lens was wide open at f3.5 and the ISO was set to 1600. The camera fired off 796 exposures between 1:27 and 3:55 AM. I have software that compiles the photos into an .avi file. I found three images of Perseid meteors in the pictures.

Wow, the sky looks so clear. In my night timelapses the sky is pretty grainy.

Good job and thanks for posting this.

Best time lapse night sky I've seen so far. Very easy to make out the constellations. Nice work!
