Following Orion...

In Decemeber I asked if it was possible to post videos to the forum.... unfortunately it's not possible at present.

So I have to post a link.

Here it is!

This was shot last night at Magpie Mine in the Peak District. It was shot over almost 3 hours, and it is made up of 640 images.

Enjoy!

Nice stuff ... as long as it's you and not me out in the dark cold for 3 hours .

Interesting that successive posts last night were on the scales of fractions of a mm (my stigma macro) and thousands of light years (distance between stars in Orion's belt). If my maths is correst, that's a difference of about 20 orders of magnitude i.e. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 between the macro and the astro. Stupendous!

Nice one Spad, the Youtube video and well done for the link. liked
You do know that you just might get addicted to that media platform but great effort by yourself for the link, to Pentax User, it might encourage more.

Enjoyed watching this, thanks for the time/effort to make it.

For me, the panning really exaggerates the vastness of the sky.
