Hi-Def Time Lapse of night sky over Kalamazoo, MI on August 11 2009. Pointed roughly above Polaris. Represents 2 hours, from ~9:30 PM to 11:30 PM Local time. Dozens of Aircraft fly overhead, busy route between Chicago-Detroit, most of this traffic settles off by 10:30 Local. I counted at least 3 satellites, including one Iridium flare and one PO. There are also 7 Persied meteors captured, though only 2 are long enough trails to see in the video. 2 others are very close the radiant and quite short. The rest are faint or somewhat cropped off screen.
There's a slight shift in position half-way to change batteries, other than that, there are about 330 frames, each 30-32 seconds apart.
