Cool!, It is a bummer that the new Millsfield Wind Farm anti collision lights are so obvious

It's great to see another time-lapser in the Whites! Love the star trails

This past summer a friend and I hiked up Adams and Jefferson to take some Milky-Way photos and time-lapses. We certainly had optimal conditions - perfectly clear skies, zero wind, no moon - which resulted in a breathtaking hike above treeline. Here is some test footage from our trip (sorry its so short!):
