A Time-Lapse from a Telescope’s Point of View
Since 2012, photographer Kenneth Brandon has regularly ventured into the great outdoors at night to shoot time-lapse photos of the dark sky. He recently began to wonder what a time-lapse would look like from a point-of-view on his telescope rather than through it, so he attached a DSLR to the outside on a recent shoot in Panamint Valley, California. The video above is what resulted.
For the “piggyback camera” mounted to the outside, Brandon used a Canon 6D with a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens.
You can find Brandon’s time-lapse work on his website and through his YouTube channel.
