Holy crap this is awesome:

Galactic Center of Milky Way Rises over Texas Star Party from William Castleman on Vimeo.

Cool beans.

This ones in the same style:

both those vids are awesome, wasnt there some qgl'r who had his own nighttime, time lapses? those were pretty wicked too.

Now I want a 15mm fisheye lens. That first video was awesome, second was just normal time lapse really.

Just have to clarify something here:
The camera moving through space is awesome, so POV timelapses from vehicles are great. Watching space move from a stationary point is NOT awesome.

It's the difference between feeling immersed in an environment and seeing something that looks like a mid-90s screensaver.

Thanks for clarifying *your opinion*. :D

I guess if you hadn't seen time lapse from a vehicle a million times before it'd be pretty awesome.

thermite must've got some sand in his you know what because lately he's been really "clarifying" his position in life.

awesome

Gee, I'm glad you clarified that for me, I almost found myself enjoying that first video. Lucky you came to tell me otherwise.

Oh FFS thermite. Most people dont "get" where we are on this little blue dot. The 1st vid just might help some people begin to understand what they are looking at up there.

Can't we all just get along?

I hate it when mummy and daddy fight.

If you haven't imagined the stars concept, in a more impressive way than shown in the video, all your life, something is wrong with your brain.

Triamks; seems like you are a bit upset over this revelation, do you want to cuddle?

It goes far beyond that really, I've seen heaps too. If the awesomeness of it is lost on you now, then you never truly got it in the first place.

Need some tutorials so I can do a time lapse of me taking a s*** for thermite.

Just record it normal and I'll speed it up for you. I would be very interested in that.

Awesome.
