Very Nice!  Beautiful clear night. Can't fault the video in anyway... but next time you need to use the Inception music   

[AJ]

Nice!  How did you control motion?

[Meh]

Very cool.  Love the video.

[Harles99]

Thanks for the comments

I controlled the motion using the Dynamic Perceptions Stage Zero Dolly and the MX2 controller.

Nice!  How did you control motion?

WOW.  Gorgeous work.  I'm not usually a fan of time lapse, but that was really well done.

Good video, well shot.

Im waiting for some nice nights out this way in the next week or so so i can do some astral time-lapse.

Its a shame about the compression Youtube puts on it, maybe try Vimeo also?

Fantastic! How were you able to get animated meteor trails with 30 seconds per exposure?   It looks like it's only a few seconds or less per exposure to capture the trails, animal on the cactus, etc....then again, I'm a definite rookie when it comes to long exposures.

Great stuff.

Thanks...those animated trails are airplanes and satellites. Airplanes usually take a few minutes to cross the frame, so they leave trails. Satellites take a few seconds to about a minute to cross the frame and leave a trail as well. Meteors streaking across the sky last only a few seconds and also leave a trail, however they only last for a frame.

^ Gosh, I hope that made sense.

Gotcha...should have realized that one.  Blown away, great job!

So, the dolly/mechanism just moves über-slow so there is no blurring during the 30 sec exp?  NICE!

[Kahuna]

Oh MY!  That's fantastic !  How about a little Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon next time.

Yes, the dolly is slow moving.
