Time Lapses

Taken with a DJI Osmo Action (interval=30 seconds, exposure=20 seconds, ISO3200). Duration is a little over 3 hours, the rest I had to cut because of clouds. Image center at about 290° (W-WNW) and 45° altitude.

The bright star next to the Milky Way (the bright band “spinning” from left to right) is Vega with a distance of about 25 light years.
