Hi all

On Thursday night when the sky was clear, the Milky Way looked lovely setting over the mountain in the West. So on Friday night, 16th October at IISAC2009, I setup my Canon 20D and 24-105mm L lens on a tripod, and programmed it to take 30 seconds exposures on repeat.

I combined the result into a timelapse movie. There’s also a single star trails image with all of the frames combined.

Simply brilliant Mike, as always. Can't wait to see what you do with Bryan's old 40D.
