Time-lapse videos of night sky looking up from my backyard. I create these to document the overnight observation conditions for my Vespera telescopes. The first time-lapse video is a 180° full sky view looking straight up with a timestamp overlay. The second is a 360° Little Planet view and the third a creative 360° little planet “Starlapse” view.

Note for the 180° full sky view looking up the top of the image is north, the left side is east, and the right side is west. With the 360° little planet view the top of the image is north, the right side is east, and the left side is west.

The night sky starts out clear followed by periods of moving clouds. I’ve posted views of comet 220P/McNaught from the Vespera telescopes 20260816.
