Kenneth Brandon - Dark Sky Chaser | 16 Galaxies, Nebula's, and Clusters in 1 Night! 🔭🔭 @KennethBrandon | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Three attempts at another First Person View Telescope Time-lapse! In this video I recap 3 trips to try to capture a first person view telescope time-lapse. The first trip was to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the middle of the summer., the second trip was to the Coso Mountains, and the final trip was to the Trona Pinnacles.

I captured 16 objects in the time-lapse:
Orion Nebula M42 (Diffuse Nebula)
Flame Nebula NGC 2024 (Emission Nebula)
Crab Nebula (Supernova Remnant and Pulsar Wind Nebula) M1
Open Cluster M41
Open Cluster M47
Open Cluster M48
Whirlpool Galaxy M51
Globular Cluster M3
Globular Cluster M53
Sombrero Galaxy M104
Starburst Galaxy M61
Bode's Galaxy M81 Grand design Spiral
Cigar Galaxy M82 Starburst Galaxy
Great Globular Cluster in Hercules M13
Ring Nebula M57 (Planetary Nebula)
Lagoon Nebula M8 (Emission Nebula)

Timelapse and EXIF info:
30s Time-lapse Interval
15s exposure while windy, increased to 20s during Sombrero Galaxy

Piggy Back Camera:
