Mount Pinos and summer Milky Way
.
The video was taken by astrophotographer
Stephen Conferruseing a Nikon DSLR camera with intervalometer for a
time-lapse movie. The camera sat on
a programmable rail running back and forth over a 3.75 hour period.
The red dot seen on the left in the static image above is a
reflection from a small LED illuminating the telescope. In the video you can see
apparent movement of the summer Milky Way including Cygnus and Aquila
caused by the earth's rotation. Clouds are also moving through the
sky with red streaks below representing cars driving thru the site.
The movie ends at morning twilight.
