Nov 5-6, 2019 time lapses

This is a good one. The first half of the night was pretty moonlit and kinda meh. I woke up around 12:30am and went out to see the last glow of the moon setting on the western horizon. I cranked up the exposure times and ISO. The airglow after the moon set is 😍Like you are living under the water and looking up at the rippled surface. Best viewed full screen and 4K.

Not long after Zodiacal light appears in the east there’s a nice fireball on the horizon due north that left a persistent ion train as dawn broke.

The wave cloud over the Sangre de Cristos was magnificent and I recentered the view for it. I also put out a second camera because I knew it was going to be really, really nice.
