This is the time-lapse video I did at DSC this weekend. Comprised of nearly 2000 individual stills and edited into a time-lapse movie. Make sure you change the settings to 1080p HD (if you're gfx card can cope) and also watch it in full screen so you can see it at its best. Hope you like it.

Fantastic Mike!
That has come out really well. The fish-eye gives an excellent field of view.
Was it all done on the camera's internal battery?
Mark
Yeah I had a battery grip attached too so it was running off two batteries. There was about 15% battery life left by the time i'd finished.
Thats cool! what did you use to put it together....
That is *king brill - really like it - Its great the way you start to see stars peaking through the clouds etc. How were you doing the exposures...?
John
Chris - Premiere Pro to render each time-lapse sequence separately and then final editing in Final Cut Pro X.
John - The Nikon has a timelapse feature built in so I just set it to do 15 second exposures every 20 seconds. I moved it around the field a few times quickly in-between exposures to get different views.
Nice record Mike, especially like the polar rotation sequence.

Yeah that is my favourite part. Next time I think I will leave it pointing at Polaris but with all the scopes in the foreground.
That's really come out well Mike, you must be well chuffed with that. Like Duncan my favourite is the polar sequence but the rest is great too.
I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Excellent stuff Mike
very good,
The music reminds me of the early days of kraftwerk.
Mac
Brilliant! Thanks Mike
Very good Mike. Have just watched it for the second time in full screen with music as I was in work the first time.
Excellent capture, especially Orion. :o
We want more! ;)

Brilliant, Mike, very well done. That new camera of yours is something else, I can`t do anything like that with my SonyA380.... it ain`t got no video thingy on it. Never mind; I will leave it to the professionals.
Great stuff.
Doug.
It wasn't a video Doug. It was nearly 2000 still images that I later processed into a video when I got home. If your camera has an intervalometer function or will allow external intervalometers to be connected then you could do something similar.
Understood Mike. My mistake. :(
Doug.
Oooh..... Thats got me interested!
Just sent off for a couple of bits on ebay to have a go myself with my Canon 550D from Hong Kong.

Just had a good session looking at plenty of time lapse stuff on youtube in Cities as well as the sky. Looks well worth having a bash. Always loved doing long exposure night stills in London..... I can see a trip coming on!
Les, you could have saved yourself some money and simply used the Magic Lantern firmware. Which is free.
