Pierre Auger Photos and time lapse

[Astr0steve]

I recently got to do a shift at the Pierre Auger cosmic ray observatory. In my off nights, I got to go to the detector sites and take some images and time lapse footage.
Here are a few panoramas I took with my 6d and samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens

I have also taken a series of time lapses with my 6d, 60d and samyang 14 & 24mm lenses.
Here is the video:

Incredible images and a beautiful timelapse, Steven. Well done!

Such strong airglow!

Terrific photos, so sharp. Thanks for sharing. Can you share some basic information on the panoramas.
Thanks Bob

Great Shots, such vivid colour in the air glow.

Thanks guys,

Robert, for the panoramas I used my 6d with a samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/2.0. Each frame was a combination of two iso 3200 30 second exposures, one with tracking for the stars, one without for the foreground. I used an ioptron skytracker for the tracking.
