Have to admit I have never heard of Starmus :eyepop:
Awesome time lapse! Can't put words to the feeling it gave me. Watching all those busy scopes, they almost looked alive. It sure put a smile on my face :)

Congrats Alex!

Thanks guys!

The news from STARMUS a few days ago certainly delivered some very unexpected excitement. Since the first STARMUS there has not been a week when I would not think about experience at the festival - it certainly had great impact and ignited my interest in astronomy science.

I still can't fully comprehend that I will be going there again and observe with the 10.4-metre "Dob".

Cheers,
Alex

10.4 metre 'Dob'... !?!? :eyepop:
Amazing video Alex, "The Dance of the Telescopes' is my 'title'.
Loved the 5 dishes working in unison.

Congratulations ... :thumbsup:
