Northern Lights, October 10, 2024 in Kenmore, Washington

Still pretty new to the software, but here we go! Feel free to post any comments.

Set out on a cold night with a high aurora alert in Kenmore, WA where I live. First stop was ƛ̕ax̌ʷadis (Tl' awh-ah-dees) Park, where I could not see that I'd caught any aurora, but the camera saw it. Frustrated, took my gear home and set it up in the front yard, then the back yard and repositioned it a couple of times, then went to bed (freezing and tired) while it took photos for a few hours. Managed to capture a decent light show! Taken with a GoPro 11 Hero. Song by Solar Fields, called "Release". Processed with LRTimelapse, one of my first using the software.

Also, a 5-minute timelapse of my landlord's garden. Distilled down from about 100,000 images, this short video highlights the growth of the garden over the 2024 season. Not sure I'm wild about the motion blur, but it helped hide a lot of the jerky motion of the overall capture and the volume of images I took over 6 months of time.

@Gunther - I ended up processing the entire video, all 100,000 or so in a single directory using a new Mac M4 Max with 120GB of memory. I have to say it handled that volume of data like a pro. Once filtered, there was about 19,000 images remaining and that's what is in this video. It took a little time, about 3-4 hours, not bad considering the volume.
