Tekapo - Mt Cook (New Zealand) International Dark Sky Reserve

[@JohnLincolnUSA]

Truly there is a God to create some thing so majestic and beautiful

[@magdielpalmeiro3300]

Indeed there is. His name is Jehova and he sent his only son Yeshua to die for our sins for we can keep living and enjoy the true beautys that he has im store for us. God bless you

[@Tamialf]

I never realized that the sky was so pure in New Zealand especially nowadays, I hope to live long enough to travel there one day

[@rachkate76]

Dark night sky parks are across the world we have two officially recognised here in Oz.

[@alisdairmclean8605]

You won't regret it. It is a beautiful country. Particularly up in the McKenzie country. For people like me who live 57 degrees latitude North, the Southern sky is jammed pack full of stars I don't normally see.

[@Counter102]

just dont go near auckland the sky is never clear its full of light

[@bryanlahog7948]

I've watched videos on KZbin for 10, 15 years, and this is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, truly.

[@bilalyousufi]

i swear i cant stop watching this... and the combination of music is just breath taking..

[@pastorrobbgoodman5084]

This is quite amazing! It looks as of the stars are travelling in a circular motion! Thanks for sharing this great film!

It's my goal in life to live in this wonderful place until the day I die.

Incomparabile bellezza! Commovente da quanto è bello! Time lapse ripreso dalla Nuova Zelanda, in una riserva dove è possibile osservare il cielo e lo spazio senza troppe interferenze luminose.

Truly a gorgeous and wonderful video; my hat is off to you.

[@mumumoore]

Thanks bro for all the mahi you put into these visual masterpieces. All that energy is going through us everyday and every night, without us even realising how significant it is. If I could collect those stars and eat them I would be a magnificent being. Lots of gratitude for sharing with us your journey and your art form.

[@ACreatureCalledSilvah]

Thanx so much for posting this beautiful video.. is very educational and the music suits the video 😍

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

So, this is what we're all missing above our heads. Such a terrible shame, and even worse, it's said that by 2040 we'll only see half of what we can now in 2024, which will be almost nothing.

[@HERO_DREAMER]

Planning to go here when my mom and I visit NZ in December/January

[@andynz7]

Very nice! Great to see this kind of video from you Fraser!!

[@troutbumandsam]

reminds me of the night sky in Wyoming - beautiful!

[@nurulrahmi5439]

Just found this, this is so beautiful i wanna cry

[@TomFleec]

i came here to steal this clip for a background in one of my montages but my god this made me rethink my whole life. Thank you.

[@rachkate76]

Now that we have a travel bubble with you guys across the ditch maybe I’ll come check out your dark night sky parks- you can come check out our two in Coonabarabran (NSW) and Punyelroo. (SA) 💁🏽‍♀️

absolutely breathtaking!

[@alyachevajihanhanain8275]

This is really amazing,I hope to be there

[@gelian]

Me and my wife took Fraser's lesson while visiting Tekapo on our honeymoon. Fraser was flexible and built the lesson around what we were interested in. For us, he had 2 telescopes setup.. one for showing us the night's sky and one for photography. He got excellent pictures of the moon & jupiter with my wife's point & shoot. And words can not describe the pictures of orion's nebula with my DSLR. Cost was $80 for both of us. In my opinion a must do while visiting Tekapo,

[@Lonamafaufau]

[@denisschwarz8161]

What technique did you use to make this timelapses. I guess LR Timelapse and Lightroom? Ho do you adjust settings when getting brighter or darker?

[@mche9328]

Sorry, is this shot at Mount Cook Village or at the Mount John Observatory (near Lake Tekapo)?

[@nupurhjain6431]

hi This video is amazing could you tell us when did you take this and at what time. We were planning to come and visit around may june but are sceptical about short days can you tell us how is the visibility after sunset and what is the best time of the year to visit

[@shiouming]

Hi, I visited Lake Tekapo on March 6, the weather was good and weather website rated that night as good for stargazing. I was able to see stunning number of stars but couldn't see Milky Way. Tried it on 10:30pm and 12:30am but simply can't see it. Is Milky Way observable only from certain spot or hour?

[@IEatBabies404]

The milky way is best observed late in the summer so around August. You also want a sky that is clear and moonless so as to not dim the light of the milky way. Then even after all that you have to actually spend hours looking at the night sky so your eyes will get used to the darkness and then maybe you'll see the milky way.

[@IEatBabies404]

and even then it's not going to look like what you see in this video. The cameras these guys used are super sensitive to light and your eyes just aren't sensitive enough. You'll see probably a cloud like thing. I'd bring a telescope or binoculars if you wanna see it better.

[@shiouming]

Thanks for the explanation. I gave my luck second chance by joining stargazing trip at Queenstown. The professional guide confirmed that the not-so-obvious patch I observed on sky is actually Milky Way :)

[@loooseunit]

Late summer here is in Febuary .... just a heads up .

[@AusNetFan13]

Don't you mean Winter? It's the Winter season during the month of August in New Zealand (and the rest of the Southern Hemisphere).

[@samj9217]

2:17 -is that what the night sky REALLY looks like to the naked eye? It looks like something you can only see through a big telescope

[@carlosivofreitas]

oh yeah very good places, i believe a day to live there

[@alliegill256]

Any telescopes that public could use ? Please I am a big big big fan of space would really appreciate ur help

[@TheKiwiactivist101]

absolutely beautiful mate, thanks for making this and uploading it :) i have a canon 7D DSLR camera and i would like to get into astrophotography what equatorial mount would you recommend for me a beginner. i cant see much up in auckland but i aim to change that.

Can I use a few seconds of your footage in my own video? I would also mention you. It would be a pleasure!

[@forgirl0023]

does it happen everyday? like would i be able to watch it everyday or just specific days

[@sosotoc]

AWESOME !

[@razakblackgoat]

what was that at 4:16 on the upper left corner?

[@enriquenavarro2623]

I´d say it´s a meteor which burnt outside the frame and we only saw the smoke and a streak of light disorted by the lens

[@lclucky8146]

Can we see it with naked eye or telescope... And will there be specific days to watch or can we see it every n8....plzzzzzz tell me 🙋

[@FraserTK]

lc Lucky hi Lc Lucky - as long as it’s a clear night you can see the milkyway (but it’s better when there is no moon - or a small crescent moon) there will be some nebula in the night sky all year round, but sadly with your eye even in a big telescope you can’t see the colour - this is captured with Astrophotography ( timed exposures ) if you were referring to the aurora then you have to be lucky this only happens a few times a year (once again much better thou the camera) there is no set time of year for this

[@lclucky8146]

@@FraserTK tqqq... So much🙂

[@willierants5880]

The sky looks strange. It's like looking at the skybox in a video game.

[@FraserTK]

Sadly there are no free public telescopes to use - There are 3 groups offering astronomy related things, the biggest is Earth and Sky, they run a star watching tour on Mt John ($105) there is also Tekapo Starlight which offer a naked eye tour in the village ($20) and I offer photography with a telescope (starting from $40). Tekapo is about half way between Christchurch and Queenstown

[@keiji1692]

[@iansharp6593]

What is the background "music" for? Doesn't the film speak for itself? I'm going to NZ for 2 months in 2020 and all my online research about what to do and see is wrecked by musak. Every KZbin video has some sort on awful moronic noise going on. Why? What possible purpose does it serve?

[@FraserTK]

Ian Sharp for most part others like the music, may be you could try turning the volume down or using mute - if you personally don’t like it
