Time lapse video of the night sky as it passes over the 2009 Texas Star Party in Fort Davis, Texas. The galactic core of Milky Way is brightly displayed. Images taken with 15mm fisheye lens.
See the discussion under the video for the technical details of how it was done exactly. The upshot is: this is basically just a filter on the the night sky, and not faked in any way.
Absolute coolness.
Fantastic time lapse Cosmo, thanks for sharing!

That is an awesome video!
I've seen the most amazing night skies in my whole life in Big Bend (huge National Park about 100 miles south of Fort Davis). I was even out there when Hale-Bopp was visible. It was amazing and served as a great directional for night hiking in the desert.
Ubercool.
Funny how all kinds of stuff, from the extraordinary to the mundane looks a lot better in time lape.
