Strongly recommend watching this in HD!
This is my first try at making an astro timelapse with my camera. The software I was using somehow changed the ISO halfway through shooting though. Still, everything turned out much better than I had expected.
To Make the video took quite a few bits of software. I used a nifty program called Camera Control from the folks over at DIYPhotoBits.com. This allowed me to tether the DSLR to my laptop and automatically snap a photo every couple of seconds. Afterwards, I took all of the RAW photos into Adobe Lightroom for adjustment and noise reduction. Once that was done, I finally imported all of the photos into Adobe Premiere Pro. That let me use all of the photos (288 in all) as individual frames of a movie. The whole process was very easy to do but definitely took a bit of time. I will fefinitely be doing this again when the weather improves.
For those interested, here are the camera settings I used:
Nikon D70s
ISO: 800 (somehow switched to 1600 halfway through shooting)
Aperture: f/1.8
Exposure: 10s
