3 Milky Way Time Lapse Video 17 seconds

[monteolsen1]

Location - mountain top near Big Sky,Montana

Here is a very short clip of the Milky Way. Last night was the “new” moon. E.g.: NO moon, so the best time of the month to have dark skies to shoot stars. I went to my favorite mountain top, with no houses or lights around within several miles, and spent 3 hours in the very dark wilderness shooting this short clip.
Best seen full screen and sound

Tech
Nikon D750 body
Nikkor 14-24mm, f/2.8 lens
295 total exposures at f/2.8
10 second exposures with 20 second intervals between exposures.
ISO 1250

You look at an amazing video like this a d realize how much we are missing in our light-polluted skies.
Nice job.

Will Starlink affect timelapse astrophotography?

Will Starlink affect timelapse astrophotography?

Yes.

Terrestrial astronomers already have to program their software to ignore the satellites. It will get worse when the full constellation is launched.
