Mauna Kea Heavens 4: Finished
After two years of filming, I finished the fourth and final timelapse montage in the "Mauna Kea Heavens" series. This video features lots of adaptive optics lasers, milky way shots, many scenes of the erupting volcano, and several hyperlapse sequences. It utilizes focal lengths from 12mm to 1000mm. I completed my PhD and moved from Hawaii to Washington, D.C., so I won't be filming the telescopes anymore. It can be viewed at vimeo.com/302336360
The video opens with a shot of the moon setting behind the telescopes that was taken with a 1000mm lens from 30 miles away. I also made several attempts to film the moonrise from the opposite side of the island. None of them came out well enough to be included in the montage, but this was a still frame from one of the attempts. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the three domes are Keck 1 Subaru, and Gemini.
