My east-facing camera defocused itself as the moon started to rise. I don’t know the cause but it has happened a couple times now and I may need to give up on this lens.
I ran star trails without comet mode again for variety.

Another appearance by the elk herd around the 2:40 mark.
I ran the star trails without “comet mode” so it just keeps on adding the trails.

November 25-26, 2023 time lapses – an you see the frost sparkling in the moonlight? Our low temperature overnight was -6F / -21C. Also around the 2:28 mark there’s a herd of elk that pass through on the left side.

So much here! Deer at the start, brief northern lights at the 1:18 mark, a new train of Starlink satellites at 2:30, a Falcon 9 rocket punching a hole in the ionosphere at 5:30, and a fantastic meteor that terminates at Venus right before dawn at 6:33.

What a great title for a time lapse – I know this is a heavier soundtrack that I normally use, but it evolves several times throughout and stays fresh to the end.
