Hut Point, Start, and Auroras...

This neat little time lapse was captured by a friend of mine, James. He used a 8mm lens camera that give you a 180 degree view, by 360 degree view. You have to look very closely, but you can see the horizon wrapped around the bottom of the lens and it comes together towards the top of the lens, you then have to look even closer to see Orion's belt at the start of the video, then i'm not sure i'll get the order correct, but i think it's the southern cross in the center, then scorpio around the horizon, then in the center again you should see the milky way. You can also see a few auroras through out the video and a small patch of clouds towards the end. enjoy.

Seeing your blog for the first time. Had quite an awakening experience this year, and your pictures of the sunset were right in line with that. I spent a great deal of time staring at sunsets. I never quite saw the beauty of them until this year. Wonder how I missed them, huh? Thanks for your blog.... KC
