Here is a minor edit to the excellent video by Stephane Guisard and Jose Francisco Salgado, posted at Nicolas Bustos channel. Visit http://eso.org for more about the European Southern Observatory.
Credits for original video:
ESO/José Francisco Salgado (http://www.josefrancisco.org)
ESO/S. Guisard (http://www.astrosurf.com/sguisard/)
The time-lapse starfield has been edited to show the rotation of the Earth from the point of view of the stars.
Note: this is not a fake. The original video by Guisard and Salgado at http://youtu.be/w... was edited to hold the frame stationary on the stars instead of on the earth, as it was originally filmed. That's why the frame of the video keeps intruding on the top and bottom. So it is what you would see if you were to stand all night and look at the same star, moving your head to keep looking at that star as the earth moved. The instructions below show how to do this, not how to add any special effect to fake the shot.
At http://astrosurf.... and http://josefranci... are more pictures from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) located in the Atacama Desert, Chile.

For anyone interested, here's how to do the effect with the cheap version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio ($50). (Better packages offer auto-stabilizing, which would be a lot easier.) Use Tools, Video, Video Event Pan/Crop. Add two keyframes, one at the beginning, and one at the end. Choose a star that appears at both beginning and end. Align a reference point on the frame (any point of your choosing) to the star at the keyframe in the beginning and the keyframe at the end. This alone will accomplish the effect if no rotation is required. When rotation is required, first determine where the X Center and Y Center of the Rotation setting in the Pan/Crop window should appear. (If you use the scroll bar at the bottom of the Pan/Crop window to preview forward and backward you can eyeball where the center of the arc formed by the stars is.) Drag the X Center, Y Center to that point, which may or may not be within the video frame. The final step is to eyeball the rotation angle that occurs between the keyframe at the start and the keyframe at the end. If you've done all this correctly, the effect itself will handle all the angles and x/y positions between the two keyframes. If you find yourself tweaking it by adding new keyframes in the middle to try to realign stars along the way, that's the path to madness (cf. 1:07 in the video). Just get the x/y position, rotation center, and angle of rotation correct for both the first and last keyframe and it should work fine.

EDIT:
Since no one read the older comments, I'll say it AGAIN: I don't know why that 5 seconds lag showed up after I uploaded the file to youtube. I really don't know. I have the movie here and it's perfect. The only thing I did was to trim those scenes, save the file with a new name and upload it here. The cropped file played beautifully here, but after uploaded, the audio and video were out of sync.

Scene from the movie "Electric Dreams" [1], with Lenny von Dohlen and Virginia Madsen. For me, the best scene on the movie.
[1]: http://www.imdb.c...
"Electric Dreams":
Miles buys himself a state-of-the-art computer that starts expressing thoughts and emotions after a having champagne spilled down on him. Things start getting out of hand when both Miles and Edgar, how the computer calls himself, fall in love with Madeline, an attractive neighbour.

So ever since I picked up a Wii (during the release date) I've been totally into Legend of Zelda once again. I even played the original again just to beat it. I thought, "Hey... I should make an arrangement of all the songs I know... skweee!" So here it is. My little LoZ medley. Here's the parts througout the song:
"File screen"
Overworld theme
Kakariko village
Sarias song
Song of time
Ganon's theme
Song of time (reprise)
So enjoy!

Quite an interesting website too.
Are you engineer btw?
photos. Do you have any videos of these trips? The sounds of creaking doors and large echoing spaces would be very cool!
