Timelapse: While Earth turns.... the stars stand still

By choosing to track the stars, weirdly the Earth turns in this timelapse sequence - which it does of course, but we rarely look at it from this reference point.

 

2 hours in 150 frames. Captured lots of satellites and couple of early Perseids I think.

 

Saturn lower left, Jupiter lower right, Altair top left.
