ABOUT THIS BLOG

As an addition to my normal astrophotography I sometimes set up a camera to monitor a large area of sky for whatever appears in the way of aircraft, satellites, meteors, space debris etc. Occasionally something notable or unusual appears so I decided to make a blog devoted to those sequences that show the more interesting events.

The time-lapse sequences are made from a continuous series of exposures. Each exposure being usually between 15 - 60 seconds duration depending on conditions and the lens being used.
(Lens and exposure info. reveals relative speed of objects across frame).

Short period events are posted as animated gifs with a duration of 0.5 second per frame. Longer sequences are video posted on YouTube.

WARNING: Some of the animated gifs are quite large so may take a while to load on slower connections.
Many of the objects detected are often faint and small so a dark environment is required to see them clearly.
