A single still frame from a 571-frame, 3-axis, motion-controlled astro timelapse dolly sequence we shot last night at Tapestry Arch, Arches National Park.
This area around Tapestry Arch is stunningly beautiful at night. My intern Dustin and I kicked it under this spectacular sky, Pink Floyd blasting, cold beers on ice, until 2:30AM, as the camBLOCK moco system and Canon 5D2 tracked the Milky Way across this brilliant sky and landscape.

Tom, wonderful capture. I have this gear: " Wes, my settings were: Canon 5D Mark II, EF 16-35mm II at 16mm f/3.2, ISO 3200 for 33 seconds" My question is do you see what you want to capture or does the captured frame see more and if so then do you have to use some galaxy knowledge to know where to position the frame?

Fantastic! Relatively new to Flickr; I would like to see the EXIF data for this shot. Not sure how to access it.
