Wow, this is simply amazing! I've been trying to think something up to create panning timelapses, but never thought to use a telescope mount motor! I'm definately going to keep this in mind for when I have some spare time :)

Just out of curiosity, does your camera have a setting where it takes pictures at pre-set intervals or have you hooked it up to a computer and have software control the rate of capture?

Keep it up!!

Thanks

Thanks! Check out some of my other how to vids. I explain a lot about timelapse...

[DAVEtheMAGICIAN]

Just out of interest dude, once you have all of the shots, do you just import them into your editing program one at a time? Also how many pics do you set your DSLR to take per a minute? cheers : )

[milapse]

yes import into after effects, and it totally depends on the situation. There is no one size fits all, Sometimes 1 frame per second all the way up to 1 frame per 30 seconds and everything in between...

And another thing regarding Daves question:

if taking a sunrise, for example, do you use the manual mode on ur digital camera or the P-Mode or something?

thanks =)

I'm going to cover that in detail in "part 3" of my timelapse guides (coming up soon). It's not a quick answer!
