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
This photo is a single image and no compositing was involved. It was shot with a Nikon 1000mm f/11 mirror lens from about 30 miles from the telescopes. My image from a few seconds earlier was a winner in the 2017 Astronomy Photographer of the Year contest.
