Night-time sky/stars panning time lapse

[AshMashMash]

So been practicing a bit more, and I think this would have been a cracker had the cloud not set in! BBC Weather said clear skys until 1am :bonk:

300 shots, every 20 seconds, simply Jpegs converted to movie file at 30fps, using a plug in timer as a panning device.

Thoughts?

Shame about that big cloud. I like the idea of the panning device.

Why did you have a cable going off to the pc? Is that for the time lapse?

superb, I like it, can see Big dipper clearly at beginning, using the timer as a panning device I take my hat off to you.

now get to a dessert like arizona and be gobsmacked at the stars and milky way you see with naked eye,

am off now to look for a tracking/panning device - im inspired

Thanks very much - those damn clouds.

Yeh the Canon Utilities is controlling the time lapse function, as I don't have anything specificially for that (the Utilities has a function for it).
