Galactic Center of Milky Way, time lapse video of night sky as it passes over the 2009 Texas Star Party in Fort Davis, Texas. Pretty cool.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
It's been about 8 years since I've been able to get to a really dark area and see a sky glowing with stars. Oddly enough, it was when I was living in Phoenix Every time I've been out since moving back to SD, it's either been cloudy or I've been pretty deep in the Hills and completely covered by trees

Cool vid. My 3 year old really liked it to. That is one of my favorite parts of living in the high desert, unlimited night sky viewing.

I love how the sunlight obliterates it at the very end. So neat.

Very cool. I love going out to the beach on the Pacific side of Japan (< 3 miles from my house) to look at the stars. They are amazing.
