After the amount of sky trails that I blogged about on the 17th, I've been meaning to try my hand at some timelapse to try and see just how much activity there is up there.
Quite a lot is the answer.
In the first sequence you see Venus closest to the horizon, then the big, bright Moon followed by Jupiter. The second sequence has Orion mid frame, Jupiter top right, and plenty of cars whizzing by, bottom left. A cursory count of aeroplanes comes in at ~70, during the 2 hours of filming.
Best viewed full screen if you want to see all the action.
I am an amateur astronomer; I am interested in science, innovation, astronomy and general musing about philosophies of life, the universe and our place in it.
I love to look up and wonder, and this blog is mostly what results from that wondering.
