Awesome Timelapse Shows The Earth Turning And Not The Stars

Awesome time lapse shows the Earth turning and not the stars

This is so cool. Usually, timelapses show the night sky of stars moving around Earth but we know that's not true, it's Earth that's moving and rotating and turning. Photographer Lance Page made this time lapse to represent our Earth turning by making the camera move along with the North Star. That way we see our world move while the stars stay still.

Page writes:

I had the idea of a new astro time-lapse technique in which the camera is pointed right at the north star and mounted to a motorised pivot point directly lined up with the sensor so the camera is able to spin with the stars through the night. Sit back, relax and Ride the Sky.
