A wide-angle time lapse of the entire night in early March at All-Star Telescope's New Mexico Star Party near Rodeo, New Mexico. From Sirius and the winter Milky Way in the late evening through to the dramatic rise of the Milky Way just before sunrise, this video demonstrates the exceptional skies of south eastern New Mexico and why the All-Star New Mexico Party has become so popular. Over 900 photos of 30 seconds each on a Canon 40D with the Bower 8mm Fisheye lens for Canon were combined for the video.
