What a great idea for a class! I doubt it’d go over very well here in Portland…
I’ve always found timelapse film of the night sky particularly affecting - we really are on a small rotating planet travelling round a star. It makes me wonder if we, as a species will last long enough to make a time lapse of us going round the milky way.

Can anyone comment on what sort of a gizmo provides the slow movement of the camera in some of these shots?
Personally, I use a timer from an old water softener, it does one revolution in 24 hours.

Nice. Any comments about equipment / frame rates / exposures?
Here’s another nice time lapse movie that is also available in 3D:
what is even more pleasing is to have the soundtrack to the hired hand (further up the page) playing whilst watching this video. mute the video’s native sound, of course.
