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 James Clerk Maxwell Telescope normally is covered by a Teflon tarp in order to keep the dust off the dish. The tarp is transparent at the wavelengths that it observes (so, basically, like a glass window at visible wavelengths). However, it was briefly removed, and I seized the opportunity to film the telescope without the cover. Subaru is in the background.
