Namibian nights....

[Meddle]

I spotted this the other day. Genuinely one of the most wonderful films I've seen & thought you might be interested!

photographer Marsel van Oosten cas created these time lapse films of the night sky over Namibia - ive seen quite a few pictures of his before - but this takes it to a while new level! more info in the link....

Would it be great to be able to see that every night - it has to be the most beautiful natural sight.

It kind of reminds me of the view when I am looking out of my shed door

Really beautiful work. Namibia has provided me with some of the best nights observing I have ever had. And I am heading back this year!

I've always wanted to go see Fish River Canyon. Do you get a good view of the Magellanic Clouds from Namibia?

Fantastic views. I was lucky to spend part of a Safari holiday at a small resort that had a 12" SCT with on site astronomer. We spent quite a bit of time on the LMC and SMC.
