TLT 10 and 9.

Just a note to say two new short videos have been uploaded.

TLT 9 Suffers from the lens misting up completely on the camera, this leaves a great effect at 1:30 as the sun evapourates the moisture off the lens. However this isn't great for astrophotography, so if you have any potential solutions to the condensation build up please contact me (either comment or email).

Latest Time Lapse Trial

Last night I was able to get some footage, the weather wasn't brilliant, with almost continuous cloud. However it was a chance to test the system, and it worked flawlessly, with a continuous shoot of over 12 hours, only partly filling the card.

The only thing really of note is that there is a brilliant sunrise imaged in this, the only point that had clear skies!

Well here it is:

Trial videos uploaded

I've uploaded a selection of the better time lapse trial videos I've made, these were made with various different settings, as noted in each of the details. These were mainly made to test the ability of the system and the image settings.

The whole playlist can be viewed from here




I'll be posting some longer term (12 hr+) time lapse videos very soon, however the weather here is not very good. The trials taken so far have been limited to the battery life of the camera (5-6 Hrs). I have recently received an AC adapter for the camera so from now on I will be able to make longer videos (if the weather allows it!).

First Video

Just mentioning that the first Abbott Astronomy video has been posted onto Youtube:

A direct link to the video to playback in HD is HERE


This is one of the trial videos that I've made to test out various settings and ideas.
The camera used is a Canon EOS 400d and it is linked to an automatic shutter trigger (more detailes of my method and equipment will be uploaded later).
The clip is only 15 seconds long, and from about 10 seconds onwards, the moon starts flooding out the picture. At 0.05 the streak of light (going diagonally top right to bottom left) I've identified and believe is the ISS.

General Description: This is one of the first time lapse videos I've made, a small trailer for what's to come.

Camera Info: Canon EOS 400d, 30 sec interval, No Flash auto exposure, 28mm

Video Info: 29.97fps, 372 frames, 1280x720 resolution, No filters

Location: Shrewsbury, UK 13/07/09 2252-0205
