Time Lapse of Messier Marathon in Abla (Almería, Spain)

A time lapse video of the Messier Marathon in Abla (Almería, Spain), in June 14th, 2009. In the middle of the night the Moon rises (being Jupiter quite near to it, only visible at certain moments in the video). The Milky Way is also visible but quite faint. Clouds appeared at 3 AM and interrupted the observing session. Taken with a Canon 400D with a fish eye lense (Peleng 8mm). 20s exposures, one each minute, with noise reduction at ISO 1600 (and thus the noise...)

Un vídeo "time lapse" de la Maratón Mesier en Abla del 14 de Junio de 2009. En mitad de la noche aparece la Luna (con Júpiter a su lado, visible en algunos momentos concretos del vídeo). La Vía Láctea es también visible aun bastante débil. Las nubes hicieron aparición sobre las 3 de la mañana interrumpiendo la sesión de observación. Realizado con una Canon 400D con objetivo ojo de pez Peleng 8mm. Exposiciones de 20 segundos cada minuto con reducción de ruido activada e ISO 1600 (y de ahí el ruido).

I forgot to tell you than the manual apperture is not a big deal, and you can get used to it quite easily.

Best regards

Njansen, I'm quite happy with it, specially considering the price. Please note than in the EOS 400D it produces some vignetting in the corners. The effect is much worse with bigger sensor sizes, and probably I would not recommend it if your sensor is bigger than the one in the EOS 400D.

How do you like the Peleng? I'm thinking about buying one but not sure about the manual aperture...

The effect of watching the stars moving is unreal... it made me feel like I was traveling through space.

And I guess I am, all said it told - this just made me think about it. Thanks for posting this!
