Currently Playing: 24-hr Timelapse: Full Moon at the Winter Solstice

24-hr Timelapse: Full Moon at the Winter Solstice Another looping 24-hr timelapse, and my first timelapse to ever include the WHOLE sky in the frame! I took this lapse in North Carolina (hence the pines) on the night of the full moon just after the winter solstice (the new moon was cloudy). You can see that the sun is REALLY low in the sky in the winter; it barely clears the trees. I also made this timelapse into a spherical "360" video for VR viewing: https://youtu.be/RswhLz9TuPE EQUIPMENT Camera: Sony a6000 Lens: Lensbaby Circular Fisheye (185° FOV, set to f/5.8) Camera Power Supply: Case Relay (with AC-5V adapter) Anti-dew lens heater: DIY - resistive heater (2.7W) Camera cover: DIY - plastic bags and blue tape SETTINGS External Intervalometer: 1:20 per exposure Mode: Aperture Priority Shutter Speeds: (1/4000 to 30) ISO: Auto (100-800) Metering: Center* Exposure Comp: ±0.0 White Balance: AWB Long exposure noise removal (In camera dark frame): ON *Center metering caused glitches when moon was directly overhead → painful Matlab repair.
