Walim nightscapes

Yesterday I had a pleasure to shoot a few timelapse nightscapes at Walim, south of Poland. That was an amazing night. This was also the first real field test of my moto dolly.

    Yes, this is a DIY solution based on a Meade Autostar controller and motors and a alu truss. I promised to post about the details, but it’s hart to find time recently. Thanks for a comment and reading my blog! Cheers!
