We’ve featured many beautiful Milky Way timelapse videos here on SLR Lounge, but this one wins. This brief timelapse was taken in space from the space station…so, top that.
Courtesy of the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, NASA Johnson Space Center, this 30 second timelapse is from the International Space Station and features “the Aurora Australis, the Milky Way, and some random satellites.”
The video is a sequence of 722 images compiled by Hugh Carrick-Allan and will give you a little taste of the view from space…no astronaut training or spacesuit needed.
A favorite tool of astrophotographers is the Syrp Genie motion control and image capture for timelapse photography. It retails at $849 and we are GIVING ONE AWAY!

Now, that is impressive.
Really beautiful.
Takes my breath away every time
great timelapse
Nice perspective! Always interesting to see shots taken from space.
The timelapse was created from 772 still images, the still image was created by stacking 52 of those images and processing the result. I probably should have been clearer with the description on my blog ;-)
Looks pretty much like a advanced version of this one

I never get tired of astrophotography! Great concept taking a timelapse of the stars in space!
