The Smithsonian Institute requested that I capture a holy grail style timelapse of the night sky for an upcoming light pollution exhibit.
Their request, was the video had to be captured in one single take! The result is this video after shooting continuously for 14-hours from sunset through the night and until sunrise.
To help ensure the video was a success, and since I was off-grid, I camped next to the equipment and powered the camera and lens warmer with a deep cycle battery. This allowed the camera to run continuously without the lens frosting over. I checked the system every hour or so to verify no issues arose.
Gear: astronomy modified Sony A7siii and Sony 14mm f/1.8 lens.
Processing: I processed the footage using LRTimelapse and Lightroom.
