This is an extreme timelapse stack I did last weekend that took 3.5 hours! It used up a 16gb card and almost the entire battery. Aimed directly at the Southern Celestial Pole it reveals the rotation of the earth as seen from Northern NSW Australia. American readers will notice our distinct lack of any kind of pole star like their Polaris.
