Time Lapse Technique

Not bad, but short and boring. Try to make a simple title, an intro, and some soft sci-fi music, probably something from Vangelis

Also astrophotography thread I guess...

yeah, it was all about the shooting technique, i know it needs music and some other things. I should record more time lapses (each one wich lasts about 6 to 8 seconds) and then merge them into 1 video (obviously using music and intro).

Now that I could watch it in a larger format it is a bit choppy. See if you can set a smoother transition between the frames in the video conversion software.

For additional footage I'd recommend going over the parts of the constellation with a longer lens, 100mm and 200mm primes or with a 70-200mm showing the Great Nebula M42 and the Running Man, the Horsehead Nebula in the belt, Betelgeuse and the other notable stars and also some info about the objects. That would make an awesome video especially if you can manage good resolution in 4K.

Also, you will need a tracking mount, look up your local astronomy club.

It is a lil bit choppy because i shot few photos (I shot them in 1 hour) so i managed to make only a 10 fps video. Soon i'll be making 30 or 60 fps videos. Do you suggest the cinematic 24 fps look or 60 fps for time lapses?
Thanks for your time and answers

I feel like timelapsing the movement of the stars without actually showing a foreground is very bland. Why not just take a video and pan it across the sky at that point? Composition would add a lot to the shot.
