North America Nebula Timelapse

[Knight of Clear Skies]

Had a go at capturing a timelapse of the NA & Pelican rising over some trees. Used an Ha filter to isolate them from the background, the close-up shots are 30 second exposures with the Samyang 135mm. In the foreground of the wide shot we were testing out a SkySense which could be very handy for public outreach events. It worked very well, hitting the target quickly each time.

Thanks all. I have some more timelapse footage to edit together, provided I can do it in the right way. I'm trying to give some sense of the scale of these DSOs in the sky.

It's very interesting to see the actual size of the dso in the sky rather than just how we see it on a screen in our images, nice work 👍
