Deep Space Drift

While it is wet outside, I'm experimenting with different media to present my astro.

https://astro.mellican.com/deep-space-drift/

Press the green button on the web page to drift towards the Knight of Barnard-33 and into the light of the Lagoon Nebula. Press the white dot/star - top left - to stop it. Video goes for a couple of minutes.

Rig used was a SkyWatcher 100ED Pro; ASI533MC; 50 x 120s.
Images processed in PixInsight and then Da Vinci Resolve for the video.

Edit: Made it (mostly) work on IOS devices.

Cool!
The Horses Head stars looked better than the Lagoon, but the effect is great.

That's just the thing to cheer us up on a wet Melbourne weekend. Well done indeed!

Thanks. I've updated the page with a couple more scenes and soundtrack changes. There is a link in the page's description to a slightly better quality version too if watching on a desktop with decent bandwidth speed.

That's very very good! I need to learn how to do that.
