This is a 602 second exposure - the mount automatically tracks the stars. Pretty cool gear:
Paul's massive telescope. You can clearly see the cloud bands on Jupiter and 4 of its moons with this thing! Everyone uses red lights to preserve night vision.

I'm more interested in going a astro time-lapse | I'll most likely go when the next big meteor shower occurs, and only if it's a clear, moonless night. Quote:
