The
Gemini observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
Note that it the Moon rising, not the Sun, and Gemini uses a laser to help focus the images, as does the Keck Observatory just around the corner - you can see both at various moments in the timelapse.

Note that, if I ever get the time, I will redo it: the images need rotating slightly to stop it looking like Gemini will roll down the hill at any moment; and I also need to fix a few of the nasty battery-changing jumps!
With 50 seconds left, you can see me chatting to one of the Gemini 'spotters' - the guys who look out for aircraft to ensure that it is safe to use the laser guide star.
