Stunning timelapse starscapes

May 28, 2011

After watching again the beautiful work by Terje Sorgjerd (The Aurora and The Mountain) I thought I’d have another look around for other videos in a similar vein.  The two videos below are truly stunning, and perfect example of what draws so many people to astronomy and stargazing in general.

ALMA Time Lapse Sequence – Shot on location at the ALMA array in the Atacama Desert, Chile on June 2010 (credit to Jose Francisco Delgado).

ALMA Time-lapse sequences – June 2010 from Jose Francisco Salgado on Vimeo.

VLT Time Lapse Sequence – Shot on location at ESO‘s VLT at the Paranal Observatory in the Atacama Desert, Chile (credit to Stephane Guisard and Jose Francisco Salgado).

Beautiful stuff, makes you feel kinda small doesn’t it?  I particularly love the second video as it seems to have everything, wide vistas, time lapse from inside the ‘scopes (which I’ve never seen before and they’re awesome), many shots of the VLT laser guide star and possibly the first “Milky Way-set” I’ve ever seen!

Now, when will the clouds scuppering my astrophotography aspirations over the south east UK finally cut me a break!?
