This time lapse movie is of the moonrise on 4/28/05.  The sequence was shot with a tripod mounted Nikon D70 DSLR with a 18mm lens at f/3.5.  Each frame is a 30 second exposure with a 3 second delay between each image.  I used the DigiSnap 2100 intervalometer made by Harbortronics as an external shutter trigger.  The series of images covers about 1 hour.  The individual frames were converted to an avi movie file displayed at 15 fps.  Jupiter dominates the upper right part of the movie while Arcturus is in the upper left.  Spica is the bright star below Jupiter.
