SkyTracker test - Leo & tree

[fwm891]

 

Well had to try the new toy out.

My SkyTracker arrived yesterday and as luck would have it it was clear to begin with last night so time to play would have been longer but the fog rolling in at the end of the clip finished things shortly after

 

This is a combination of 58 x 20 second subs with a 20 second gap between each. Assembled in PS-CS3. Skytracker set to half speed.

That's a nice effect with the tree

For a minute I thought all the stars had gone green - then my eyes said fool that's a tree 

 

Almost "CGI like" nice

[glider]

Until you see an animation like that you don't realise how fast we are moving.

Altogether now

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving

And revolving at 900 miles an hour.

It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,

The sun that is the source of all our power.

Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,

Are moving at a million miles a day,

In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,

Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
