Orion – motion controlled night timelapse
***********************************EXCERPT******************************************
Wired.com article Robo-Camera Rig Animates the Night Sky
Taken in central South Dakota in late march-early april. It was the first time I’ve had the chance to use an Orion head mounted on the Dynamic Perception Stage Zero dolly. dynamicperception.com
Orion head (aka Merlin or Celestron) telescope head allows for an ultra slow pan and tilt of the camera while it moves slowly along the dolly. The MX2 controller from Dynamic Perception also controls the Orion head. It wasn’t used on every shot, because it just wouldn’t work for it, or the shot was from the second camera mounted on a “milapse” telescope head. It works great with the MX2 controller from Dynamic Perception and I’ll be using it as often as I can. I tested the included controller with the Orion and found it was a little too fast for night timelapse, but with the MX2 controlling it, it worked great.
***********************************Snip********************************
Shot in RAW format, most shots were 25 seconds exposure F2.8 with 2 second interval between shots, for about 300 frames or so (several hours). There were a few 30 second exposures. ISO 1600
The music was on when I played it. Nice selection by the way.

Looks like a Canon EOS 5D series (can’t tell if it’s an original, a mk II, or a mk III). Separate vertical grip attached to the bottom, which also contains batteries for greatly extended operation time.
Very nice indeed.
There is a Skip Ad in the lower right.
The glory of the heavens. I guess the usurper will make mention that he invented all those things in due time.
very nice...
