Good effort- pity the camera is focused on some grass near the lens and not the stars or the catus things. I always turn off as many auto functions (eg auto focus, auto exposure etc) when doing timelapse as cameras tend to do there own thing - like change white balance midway through a movie...

Welcome Joe to SGL Joe.

I like the video, it was really cool

Nice music too.

That's the moon in rising in the bottom right corner. It's extremely bright and you can't see any detail, and perhaps that's what you meant, although many people mistake it for the sun, since it's so bright... it's the moon though...

Thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to learning a ton in here!

Yeah, I would've liked to have it focused on the Joshua Tree... it was all on manual, but it was to dark to focus and I blew it. There's some slight blur in the stars as well due to a slightly too long exposure time.

So much fun though... thanks for the tips!

Nice video. Like the way the automatic exposure shows a sky as blue as in daylight. The only giveaway that it is in fact night time are the brighter stars.

Check out the Bat Country one, about 5 mins 40 secs in, some very nice shots of the sky, and Orion in particular ... now if I could only find a way to turn off every light in Europe ...

Very nice indeed ...
