Popular Post +Derbyshire Dave Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 I had intended to have a lengthy session taking 90 seconds subs of the Milky way and stacking them. In the end, I only got 8 subs before things started to happen. I thought it would be interesting to animate what happened. The first few frames are clear, but even then, as the milky way rises, the ground (tree)seems to fall. Bit spooky that. Then the cloud arrived and my (none EMS) neighbour kept turning his bright red light on. Animation put together with the timeline feature in photoshop. Nice to see the Pleiades and Capella being revealed as the tree appears to drop away.

Clive Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I guess the clouds were more annoying than your neighbours light 🤔 (at least it was red, perhaps he was aware that astronomers tend to use a red light to view things whilst observing?) +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Isn't the apparent movement of the tree caused by the mount tracking a moving (rising in this case) portion of the sky ? Its a nice dark sky there ; i'd forgotten how good a site it is. Hopefully be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are red lights and red lights what people neglect is that they need to be dim and not like the rear lights of the new cars which are a bit like fog lights.

Agreed. If you go onto the red field they will crucify you if you are wearing red socks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
