Milky Way Time-Lapse

That was awesome. Really pretty.

WOW! How cool it that?

That was well done! Very spectacular, and I wasn't sure if you could even see that much of the galaxy from our position! Thanks for sharing

That was cool. It was surreal watching this while the radio station I am listening to was playing "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC.

Amazing pictures.

What is a "modified" EOS camera?

Cristophe, digital camera sensors can actually see into parts of the IR and UV range. When you're doing everyday visible-light photography this extra, non-visible light can result in unwanted lens artifacts and unpredictable color shifts, so most modern digital cameras have internal filters over the sensor to block most of it out. For astrophotography this extended sensitivity is actually rather handy, so there are places that will disassemble your camera and remove those internal filters.

So, to be sure, this is not what the naked eye would see? Amazing either way...

Holy crap !!!

That was the best !!!

Nice picture.

Absolutely beautiful. :)

Good Heavens!

heh, Kalel. Yeah that is Good right there, staring us in the face. That is Good. And the Heavens.

We know distance (maybe). We know content (some, maybe). We know time-space (maybe). But do we know overwhelming, outstanding organization?

Nice work William, that is beautiful and inspiring!

I have to be a punk and point out that the Milky Way isn't 'passing over' us, we're the ones spinning within it.

It's really important to make that mental shift into spherical space. Try observing the sun and forcing your brain to see it staying in place in the sky; make your mind see how the earth has to move in order to align the horizons with the sun at dawn and dusk. It's quite dramatic when you get it.

Wow, that is amazing. If you really try to picture where we are in the universe as you watch that, it can almost be overwhelming. :)

Thanks for answer, Bryan C. I can now go to sleep less stupid than I was this morning ;)
