  • Above mountains, above clouds, the night sky…

    Scene notes:

    … is seen in deep dark colors of stars 1 of 2. Above a cloud which is caught on the mountain it shrouds this night, the stars whirl. The low cloud has motion blur due to the exposure length. The clouds roll leftward at high speed, only the slightest outline is illuminated by moonlight. The Milky Way is slightly visible. There are at least four airplanes that speed through the night.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 24 frames.

  • Behind a rocky landscape the Milky Way galaxy

    Scene notes:

    The Milky Way rotates above in the night sky above the Nevada desert in a cloudless night. Only a shrub and stones comprise the foreground that the setting moon illuminates.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 13 frames.

    Scene notes:

    …capturing space/aircraft and many stars. The Milky Way is shown. It spans top-left to bottom-right, moving with the rotating Earth towards the upper right area of the frame. Stars are seen throughout, as are planes shown flying through the view, streaking slightly from the motion blur. A long exposure and low to medium ‘coma’ (comatic aberration).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    30 seconds and 12 frames.

  • Night sky Milky Way galaxy rotating with no clouds

    Scene notes:

    Air and spacecraft as well as meteorites. The galaxy we reside in is observable when the moon is thin and has set, and clouds are not present. Seen from within, out galaxy looks different than the others- but ours is a pinwheel shaped galaxy like so many others.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    20 seconds and 5 frames.

  • Night sky galaxy with galactic cloud, meteorites, airplanes

    Scene notes:

    The night sky, with the Milky Way running diagonal (top-left to bottom-right). The scene includes both manmade and natural phenomena in the sky. Every star of light in front of the dust clouds of the galaxy are physically closer to us than the dust clouds. Coma and light pollution is low/very low.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 27 frames.

  • Night sky galaxy with galactic cloud, meteorites, satellites, airplanes

    Scene notes:

    Deep in the desert next to a small face of rocks and stone, jaggedly sticking out into the backdrop of stars. The crop moves to enlarge the galactic cloud slightly. The very faint light pollution in the distance does not intrude into the sky’s features. A variety of objects can also be observed in the night sky.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 25 frames.

  • Wide view of galaxy in the night composing of stars, many meteorites, planes

    Scene notes:

    Directly overhead in the northern hemisphere after midnight in summer, the Milky Way is clearly visible in the center of the frame, dust clouds countless light years away obscuring many of the stars. There are so many stars in our galaxy alone that, when looking towards the center of it in person, the countless points of light compose a picture of endlessness and indescribably numerous of star systems, planets, and celestial phenomena.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 13 frames.
