Nice video, shots and explanation. It's not my genre but, still, nice. I would think, about the "1.8" versus "kit lens" and shooting the Milky Way, that the problem of longer exposure times per frame is actually the Earth's rotation. That rotation turns stars into trails when the exposure gets longer. At some point before we get trails, stars become comma shapes and that looks like an optical flaw in our lenses. Living at ~52 degrees Northern latitude, we (Earth) still have the same angular velocity but circumferential speed here is much lower than at, say, the equator. Go to the Caribbean and every day at 6AM the light is switched on, and at 6PM it is switched off. Here, it may take an hour or two, depending on cloud cover. Or, I'm not sure if latitude impacts the maximum exposure time per frame we can use, but it might. If people want to shoot the Milky Way only, I guess they have compensation devices at work that compensate for the Earth's movement, but, have foreground in frame and that will move through, into, or out of, the frame. At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,070 kilometers, and the day is 24 hours long so the speed is 1,670 kilometers/hour (1,037 miles/hr = 902 knots). This decreases by the cosine of your latitude so that at a latitude of 52.3 degrees, cos(52.3) = 0.612 and the speed is 0.612 x 1,670 = 1,022 kilometers/hr (61.2% of circumferential speed at the equator - 552 knots)

Thanks for the excellent video:) Your video helped me with several things. However, one thing held me up from getting a time lapse (even after watching your excellent video). That is, a time lapse doesn't seem to work if the shutter mode has any sort of time delay. Please consider adding a note to the video (if that's even possible) to recommend the shutter mode be turned to single image. My shutter mode (set to time-delay of 5 seconds) plus my 5-second exposure (combined equals 10 seconds) counterintuitively still prevented me from creating a time lapse (image every 15 seconds).

Hi Chris, Many thanks for your very instructive videos on the subject of night time lapse. I'm traveling to the southwest in may and would like to take such brilliant shots of the starry sky, especially in the Grand Canyon. I have a Z7ii and also a 20mm, 1.8 with me. my goal is to keep the effort in post production as low as possible. are your videos out of camera, or did you edit them extensively (color grading, etc.)? what settings would you recommend for a day to night time lapse (holy grail 😂)? I probably can't get around the readjustment of aperture and iso, right? thanks for your hints! Greetings from Berlin/Germany

Very helpful video! I have the z50 and am heading to Norway in October to photography/time lapse the Northern Lights. In this video you used an ISO 4000. I’ve learned that ISO 1600-3200 is recommended for photographing the Northern Lights. For Time Lapse do you need a higher ISO (4000)? Thanks!

Well one big error is the z6 ii camera with version 1.5 firmware does not make time lapse available under camera modes A, S, P or M (which he uses in the video) Maybe it was true on early release of the firmware, but not today. (I’ve complained to Nikon customer support too). Of course this limitation confines user ability to tailor exposure to conditions.
