I took a series of 131 long exposure photos to create this time-lapse animation of the dark sky and stars as witnessed over thirty five minutes. Nothing like standing alone in the middle of the desert at night to capture something like this that helps you to connect with the universe. You can see the occasional light from a car that drives by now and then while I was creating this photo series.
Specs
131 photos
25 second exposure per photo
17 mm

Wow, what a gem!
Still have fond memories of me and my best friend driving into the Norwegian mountains with his telescope to get a good view of the stars with little light-pollution. Such good times :)
Happy to see that there are other astronomy-lovers here on steemit that are creating high quality content like this. Things like these that got me to work in the space sector to begin with.
Upvoted and Followed you, and hope we can have many good exchanges here on steemit, and collectively build the science and space community :)

A series of pictures like this makes us realise how small we are on the grand scheme of things and gives us great perspective. Well done @azfix - I really enjoyed all 131 of them!

You cant help but feel small and at the same time very interconnected to the cosmos.

Yes, we seems to be small, but we are a part of this universal show. As an astronomer, I feel that those stars are my bigger brothers.

I always wonder what we must look like to the astronomers on those distant worlds...

This is a good question. If they are like us, with somehow the same technologies, it's no problem. But if they are far more advanced, I think we have a problem, of good looking. Or better said, no so good.

Thank you @azfix.
@greenstar You're right... we are so small.
It's absolutely depressing for me being so small
There's so much to discover, but not for me. There are probably 1000s of planets with life on it but I'll never meet an alien.
I love watching the stars at night but I always think about not being able to go there.

I'm also in this astronomy disease, sorry, passion. Very nice. To bad we can't see it in HD. Upvoted and followed.

It is sort of a sickness that gets in your blood and infects your whole body! Glad to see another person here who understands the work involved in dark sky captures. The HD Version would take forever to load and would be over 100mb as an animated gif.

Yes the closer you get to the city the less likely you are to see the stars. Light pollution blows
