A series of time lapse movies of the British/Canadian James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) near the summit of Mauna Kea, at 4,100m.

A big thank-you to Callie (the telescope operator) for letting me use her telescope and making sure I didn't break anything.

A day at Hale Pohaku, 2,800m up Mauna Kea, Hawai'i.

Note the last-quarter Moon rising soon after sunset, and you can see myself wandering around the foreground taking photo's with my other camera! The orange glow from a volcanic vent can also be seen on the horizon.

Music is Metropolis by Night, by Chill Carrier - listen to it on Jamendo!
