Starship Asterisk*

moonset II

In regions above the arctic circle, and below the antarctic circle, you can enjoy 24hrs of the sun for a period of two months during summer. This phenomenon is referred to as "the midnight sun", and occurs due to the axial tilt of the earth of 23 degrees to the sun.

In this 24 hour recording I have filmed the sun over 24 hours, to visualize and document the midnight sun in my hometown Tromsø, Norway.

Keep in mind that when there is summer in the northern hemisphere, there is winter in the southern hemisphere - And the other way around
The opposite of the midnight sun is the polar night, where you have the longest and darkest 24hours of the year.
When areas in the southern hemisphere, below the antarctic circle is enjoying the midnight sun, we have polar night up here in the arctic.

The recordings where done on July 22nd 2016, the last "day" with "midnight sun" in my area of Tromsø. The sun was only 0.2 degrees above the horizon at midnight.

Hi! This is the conjunction from BARCELONA. Enjoy !!

I am very excited to share this video from a no-moon night under the stars! I've been trying for a couple years now to find a camera/lens/software combination that could roll video without moonlight, aurora or light pollution to provide illumination- and, I think I've finally got it!

This short film follows 20 high schoolers far from the city lights to an Astronomy Camp; then joins the Oregon Star Party where 600 astronomers camp out with telescopes of all sizes during the Perseids Meteor Shower. Timelapse has been the only way to showcase the night sky in video; but with the new low-light technology of the Canon MH20f-SH, we film in the quiet moments that have been impossible to capture until now.

I am so excited at what is now possible...

Here's a video which brings together some of our's favorites photographic captures by timelapse technic or low-light video recorded of night phenomena observed at Observatoire Horizon des Frontières/ Horizon's Frontiers Observatory. Located in the boundary of highlands at 8 miles of border between the Canadian province of Quebec with the American State of Maine. Northwest zone which neighbouring geographically, The North Maine Woods, area that covers more than 14,000 km2 across the Appalachian mountain chain and vast wild forest land. This region which exceptionally provides the darkest sky area of the northeast of the United State.

My latest Time-Lapse of day- and night-skies from Italy, Le Marche during my 2-week Holiday:

Hello,

I work on colours of the Moon (soils) and 3D elevation model of the Moon, using NASA LRO satellite data.

Here is the picture of the Moon :




Here is the 3D model :




Here is the picture superimposed on the 3D model :




And here is a 3D video of the picture + 3D model :

The video hereunder is about amateur astronomy and shows photos taken with a simple SLR digital camera and a Newtonian telescope 200/1000 mm. It also shows landscapes of "Champ du feu", one of the best astronomy observation sites in Northeast France.

If possible, please watch the video with the following settings : 1080p HD (for full resolution).

Sincerely Yours,

This time-lapse is from a recent adventure to Cape Palliser on the SE cape of the North Island of New Zealand. I shot this on the 4-5 Feb 2017, and It’s the longest time-lapse I’ve ever shot with 13 hours of capture from just before sunset, to just after sunrise the next morning.

Once the sun sets, day turns to night and you can see the stars appear. Then finally just after 2am, the Small Magellanic Cloud comes into frame as the Galactic Centre of the Milky Way rises above the horizon before fading out as night becomes day with sunrise.

This is a video I made of the recent annular solar eclipse, on the Feb 26. It was taken in Caleta Sara, Chubut province, Argentina. It was quite windy and at the last moment I lost the sun and had to recenter the video. The video was made with an ASI120MM-S camera using a 50mm orion guidescope. It was later processed in Adobe premiere to center the image and add the soundtrack
I hope you enjoy it.

Sub-sorm conditions enabled us to witness a bit of an aurora two nights ago in Denmark, with a beautiful proton arc at 30 degrees. The sky was really clear until midnight, when the aurora really started to get bright and closer south, but clouds rolled in unfortunately, making it impossible to see the real deal (a real-time footage is in the credits where you can see the brighter lights move behind the clouds).

On Thursday night 23rd March, I boarded an Air New Zealand Boeing 767 from Dunedin, New Zealand to travel down towards the Antarctic Circle to view the Aurora Australis. This was the first commercial flight to view the Aurora out of New Zealand, and I have to tell you it was an amazing experience! This time-lapse shows photographers and aurora enthusiasts in the cabin and the aurora outside the plane.
