The world still turns while you sleep

Fantastic! I love time lapse movies!

It's amazing how much clearer the Milky Way dust lane appears when it's moving (We tend to see moving things better than static ones).

I'm also amazed that you have such clear skies for such a long stretch of time! And the appearance of the Milky Way lasts till dawn!

Thanks for sharing...

Yes, it really great. It reminds me of my Busselton trip at Western Australia in June. We were out on the jetty for 4 hours ( it was freezing cold... but we were awed) and we could camp out and see the Milky Way as clear as anything. It is overwhelming experience and best of all, it is Free !!

Makes us ponder on our whole existence, staring out blankly at such a vast space...
