Watch the high thin clouds passing over. When the skies clear of the thick clouds this has been the typical clear night around here this summer, then at the end you can tell the fog started to build in. Not exactly ideal conditions for observing and especially astrophotography.

Watch as Andromeda(M31) rises into the scene, then at the end as the Pleiades rises above the trees. I captured a few meteors and a couple satellites in this one, but If you look carefully just after the ending credits you will see a meteor streak off the tail of the Pleiades.

  nice work Tim.

Very nice Tim!  I may have to try my hand at this

 edit: oh, were the images consecutive or did you delay a bit between exposures? :)

I'll be taking all those frames and turning them into a single star trails image also.

Very nice! 

4 hours?!?!?!? That's awesome!!! That's about how long I need to get a single semi-decent pic of Jupiter.

Very cool!!!   I could watch these all day!

 I saw the Pleades rise at the end of your beautiful sequence.  But I didn't see Andromeda, most likely because I don't know what it looks like.  About when was that in your video?

Thank you very much for this Tim.  It really is nicely done and gives one a real sense of time as the stars wheel in their courses.  My computer monitor thanks you as well as I cleaned it, finally, so I could see this video better.
