StarGazer 3: Star Spin Compilation/Neutron Star Remix 720p HD

Here is a collection of some of the best night sky time lapse sequences from the late 2009 star-shooting year, shown with and without "star Trail" compositing techniques. These clips were made from still images, shot with tripod-mounted Canon S5-is and Canon SX10-is digital cameras, using exposures ranging from 8 to 32 seconds, and ISO values of 400 to 1600 (with fully open aperature of f2.8).

The proprietary compositing methods used here have been developed by JCMDI, and involve the use of 5 different programs (some self-written) and process streams working in concert, to add (composite) the sequence of real images of the night sky together, in order, one after the other. The whole process, from shooting the images to video production, is a long and complex one, but well worth the effort!

The soundtrack is a new version of Newton's Prizm (Neutron Star Mix) by Technician (yours truly). Discography, CDs, and MP3 downloads are available at HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com

Enjoy the show!

@thegreatmonster That would be because the earth rotates in one direction (west to east) and our ground-based point of view is fixed to the planet's surface, so the daily/nightly movement of the the sky (stars, sun, moon planets, etc., not clouds and weather) always appears to be going the opposite way (east to west). If one were to observe earth's spin from above the north or south pole, then you sould see earth's rotation both counter or clockwise, respectively. :-) Cheers!

[thegreatmonster]

why is there no counterclockwise movement in the skies?

[theeAlphaOne]

eeeeeh , that one gives me chills =)

@PCHelper2011 Filming night sky star motion timelapses should be fairly easy - you just need a tripod and automated shutter trigger (know as an intervalometer). I got mine through Amazon for under $50. You can use Photolapse (or other freeware app) to make the still images into a video. The star trails are made using a proprietary compositing technique (and software) which I developed myself. You might be able to get a similar effect using "video echo" or similar. Cheers! =)

hello , i have question, how i can do this with my Canon EOS 1100D ?

Plz replay ,
