Hey man, Great video. I'm just curious, can you actually see the brightness and clarity of the stars and the Milky Way arm with your eyes as you saw them in the video?
Wow! What an incredible video!! Bravo! Well done! When will the “super extreme extended extra directors cut” be released? I could easily have watched at least an hour of this and not been bored!
It's something called adaptive optics, which helps remove the twinkling in stars due to the Earth's atmosphere constantly moving around. The laser creates an artificial star above the Earth's atmosphere, which helps the telescope know how to correct for the twinkling. So that night they were observing something in Orion.
@@TheInfinityPoint this is really amazing technology and Orion is teeming with activity. I lived in Hawaii on Big Island and went up to Mauna Kea, it is breathtaking up there. Mahalo
Thank you! Most of it was shot on a D800, D750, and D700, and a few on the D7000 even. For lenses, 2x 14-24mm f/2.8, 20mm f/1.8, 16mm f/2 for DX, and occasionally my 85mm f/1.8.

Above and Beyond you are all we need tour, still the best event I ever been too.
these star shots are amazing!! 🤩
Great choice to have above & beyond playing throughout the time lapse, mate! Great work indeed
Thank you for your kind words!
Awesome work, congratulations!🔭📡
Great Video. Thanks for sharing
Hey man, Great video.

Great Job! Well Done! How many nights have you spend there?
Thanks! Probably around 7-10 nights per year over a 4 year period.
Beautiful! Inspiring :)
1:35 camera rotation makes feel like centre of rotation of the sky is on the Horizon, as if view was taken from the Earth equator !
Hawaii is close to the equator.
@@aaroncompton145 indeed we can tell Equator is close since Sun is setting in a very vertical way ! (first seconds of the video) :)
Nice video. Thank You

i love this video
Incredibly cool. Epic
beautiful
Why are the lasers pointed toward Orion? What are they looking for/ It is October 7 2019 Aloha!

@@leliu5thelement448 Do you want to know the secret as to why they do that? The real secret.
Great work, what camera body and lens did you use?

what are they shooting at?
What is the used of lazer? Im sorry i dont know the name it looks like lazer :)

2:45 the 4 laser beams are all targeting the same object, what is it ?
That's the center of the Milky Way.
They use the lasers to calculate the atmospheric pollution. They then subtract it to rectify the final images.
is that stars in the daylight?
Those scenes were actually shot in the moonlight with long exposures, which is why it looks like daytime.
4:08 to 4:15 Man, so much traffic in the sky, probably artificial satellites, but also planes ? what time is it then ?
Shooting stars asteroids going through space
@@welsh-cymru1588 pardon ? sorry, didnt quite understand :(

why so kixu? :D
I can see the face of God
Horrible music...:/ Come on.
lol, you always have the option of muting the video and playing your own music if you have different tastes :)
