Mauna Kea Heavens: Timelapse now Finished!
Over the last few months, I've been working on a timelapse montage of the observatories on Mauna Kea at night. The video can be viewed at
Youtube (1080p! woo!)
or
Vimeo (No annoying advertisements! woo!)
Pictured above is Gemini Observatory beneath the Milky Way in a still frame from one of the timelapse sequences. Shot on a 5D Mk. II and a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4. In the bottom right, just barely visible, is a green laser from Mauna Loa. Does anyone know what it's used for? I don't think it's adaptive optics, since it doesn't move and track targets.
