Airplanes crisscross the night sky over the monoliths in the desert. Distant clouds on the horizon with minimal light pollution. The amount of coma is medium, and the exposure length is long enough to capture several flashes from aircraft lights.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 17 frames.
The continuation of another clip. The camera orientation and position has been adjusted and lens changed.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 11 frames.
As the moon rises and the frame zooms in digitally, the mountains increase in natural light, stars overhead in a cloudless sky. The scene displays low to medium coma. The mountains are half-snow-covered, the other half is too steep, rock faces and cliffs that plunge. Flutings comprise the cirques of accumulated snow.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds and 28 frames.
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.
…or a sunset on snowy bright mountains. The moon rising sends enough alpenglow to the mountainsides to brighten them like a sunrise. The stars overhead in the top half of the frame wheel around as the Earth spins at night.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
16 seconds and 25 frames.
The mountain rises into the night sky, cloudless, and starry. A low to medium amount of coma is evident.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
15 seconds and 29 frames.
A moon-rise over Monument Valley. Cirrocumulus and Cirrostratus clouds moving in a starry night sky against three massive monoliths in the far desert. An eight second interval is used with a long exposure to capture more light than what is visible to the naked eye.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds and 4 frames.
Low mist pouring over darkened mountains at night. Stars move overhead in very long exposure and large aperture.
