Really highlights the privileged view many astronomers have on our universe. Even onto our our cities makes a neat view for an observatory. I don't mean to sound jealous; I have never met an astronomer who didn't want to share their inspiration with other people. Awesome!

Software like TPE together with something like Stellarium gives you all the information needed. You need good weather than. I did something similiar with the moon and the Reykjavik skyline: https://vimeo.com/49693471 (single composite image can be seen here: http://images.nikonians.org/galleries/data/11958/Reykjavik_8_monde.jpg). best Chris Having the moon come up like in the start sequence isn’t so difficult, is requires a bit of planning (and probably the right software, which makes the task much easier).

Let me catch my breath! Phil, that's got to be the very best time lapse you have ever posted. That meteor with its trail of ionized gas being whisked into subtle curves, the star trails, the clouds flowing like rivers and the music. I tell you, my eyes are wet and misty simply for the beauty of it all. We live in such a wonderous world, floating among the jewels of the sky. Just WOW! Plez, can haz moar? Whoa! Let me catch my breath!

I like the music. Anyone know what it is? At 0:47 it looks like there's a meteor with a persistent train, but it's probably just an airplane :P Sweet! I like the music. Anyone know what it is?
