January Night Time Lapse

When the video starts out, the wall of the courtyard  in front of the house at Arizona Sky Village is lit up from the living room and bedroom lights even though the blinds are down.  The zodiacal light gradually melts away.   The house lights on the right are neighbors who are out stargazing. 

The Pleiades, Jupiter in Tarus, and Orion gradually set along with the Milky Way.

There are intermitent metors especially closer to dawn and the zodiacal light returns to the dawn sky.

After the Milky Way sets, the open cluster, The Beehive, is seen with Leo and it's backwards question mark.

The video is a little jerky because each exposure was 45 sec.  Next time I'll drop that to 30 sec/frame.  All togther this was 862 frames shot roughly from 7PM to 6 AM.  Camera = Canon T2i controlled by an Intervolometer.  Lens = Bower 8mm fisheye  at f5.
