Under the Namibian Sky - The Movie

- We recommend watching this video at FULL SCREEN (1080p), with audio on.
The night sky of Namibia is one of the best in the world, about the same quality of the deserts of Chile and Australia. This 13 min video contains about 250 hours of actual exposures, gathered at Tivoli Farm, Namibia, during 10 perfectly cloudless nights.
Any comment is welcome.

Crazy how probably less than a few generations ago before electricity and smog pollution in cities, everywhere in the world would have night skies like this
Hard to believe this video is 10 years old, still one of the best on youtube.
This is so sad. Because of light pollution, so much of the world can only dream of seeing this kind of sky, and it's all our faults. It's just really sad I think.
Nicole Alexis i feel the same. Not everyone gets the chance of seeing it.
***** no, light pollution is due to lights and can be turned off by switching off the power plants!
I wish to see the stars more clearly but from where I live in the UK its always cloudy, until July to august
+Nicole Alexis its balance . you have this , you lost that . you have electric energy to light your house , charge your device , every thing . in return , you cant get to see such beutiful sky like this
+Nicole Alexis Just wait until the EMP bomb goes off--no more light pollution
What a miserebale thing you must be to dislike the video! I can understand when people dont like music, movies, tv shows etc but this is pure beauty of nature and ok i hardly but can believe that someone might stay indifferent but to dislike it... i think only 48 soulless persons clicked the dislike button
My Own Account well said
I have to dislike this video.i am from another galaxy.the people from earth must stay inside earth only.
To see this with the naked eye must be well and truly amazing.
it's beautiful indeed....nowonder why I love my country so much.....God blessed us with alot.
+lahja shiimi Your country is beautiful! Hello from Morocco.
Thanks! The time lapse videos are gathered with DSLR cameras, no pc or telescope. Just standard lenses. This is quite similar to what was visible by naked eye.
One of the most beautiful time lapse videos of the milky way I have ever seen. Truly a great effort. It must have taken you many nights into it. I am surprised that you do not have millions of views yet!
My eyes are watery and my soul is lifted after watching this :) My congratulations to the team who worked on this, a million thanks Lorenzo, Emmanuelle, Luigi, Giosue and Marco :)
The sight of the stars makes me dream.
Thank you for this movie.
This is one of the only well-put together night sky time lapses I've ever seen. Reasons being you label things the spectator should know, as well as above and beyond. The views are so clear and crisp as well. Congratulations. Great video.
Thank you very much Josh for your kind words!
loreastro Do you know the name of the first song Vladimir is playing? I know the two other songs names.
"for you"
I cried because it's so amazing! One day i will visit this place, for sure!♡
Feel free, it's a breathtaking country
Beautiful. I appreciate the work done in labelling the objects. Thank you.
Thanks for posting and labeling these objects and constellations. Many I have heard of but I live in the North and can't ever see them -- from where I stand.
Can you imagine how peoples thoughts about what could be out there would change from nothing to endless things if only they had the same night sky as this instead of light polluted and relatively empty compared to this view????????
Nobody has a night sky like this. Unless they've somehow mutated retinas that can absorb light for an hour before displaying an image. This isn't a standard timelapse, it's one where the camera is absorbing light for the entire time between each updated frame. You can quite easily see this by watching the frames where there's people walking around. the way the light trails around and they blur, it's because they walked into the frame during exposure. The reason the sky doesn't blur is that it's on a mount that adjusts to the rotation of the earth.
mastermanio2 Exactly, that is the problem of peoples like you. Because you peoples never got a chance to see the night sky like this. And man believe me or not thats what the night sky looks like when you see it from low light polluted places. The only difference between camera and eye here is that your eyes wont pick up the colours of milky way here but camera does. So open ur eyes man!!! And see the beauty of the Night sky.
Except I've spent 15 years doing astrophotography and know exactly what I'm talking about. I don't care about your opinion.
mastermanio2 how is the night sky then??
mastermanio2 i mean how does it look
The stars deserve MUCH MUCH MUCH more appreciation
I can't count how many times I've watched this amazingly beautiful piece of art over the last 10 years and still come back and come back here 👏🏼👏🏼
Me too! I've watchef this about 2-4 times yearly for 9 years. It calms my anxiety and causes me to have the highest thoughts. God bless.
Wonderful, would be nice to have clear skies again,
cause we all live under a beautiful sky filled with lights
Lot of work, lot of patience.....and a lot of fun. Thanks for posting.
One of my favorite things to watch and listen too. Have watched 50 times at least. The pic of you guys at the end makes me so feel so so happy. Thanks so much.⚘
So beautiful, emotional, almost spiritual, moving. Thank you for I may never see this in real life
This video and music always puts me in a good mood.
I lived in Namibia for 3 years since then I travelled to other countries and never saw a better and clearer sky than that.
That's really awesome!
I've never saw that kind of sky.
Thank you guys.
you made amazing film !

I was once on a farm in Namibia in 2005 and never before or since have I seen the night sky and our Milky Way in such splendor and beauty. It was extremely impressive and overwhelming. It teaches you humility in the face of nature and life.
As an amateur photographer, I really appreciate the dedication of astrophotographers to their craft. Their work frequently ends up in my subscription to Universe Today! Under the Namibian Sky - The Movie is not only a fine example of these night creatures' product but also of their timelapse artistry in action as they scurry beneath the galaxy to capture that familiar feeling of how small we are.
A big thank you from someone who may never get to see those with their own eyes. That was really well done.
I know the endless sky, the stars of Chile. The famous sky of Namibia I never saw up to this lovely music- film. Thank you, dear loreastro.
Thanks very much fow watching, and re-watching! :-)
I've no experience of La Palma, but seeing is not perfect in Namibia. On the contrary darkness is much better, some friends says.
All cameras in the TLs were Baader modified.
Loved every second of this.
Keep up the good work.
I'm becoming more and more interested in this type of photography. I take it as the next challenge in my life. I must start and perfect it :-) Here comes years and years of trial!
Most classy and serene starry night time lapse, thx for sharing, magnificent enough to take your breathe away, beautiful....😘
This is so amazingly beautiful.
The music is so beautiful and so is the video! I want to see the night sky like that one day. Thanks for posting this. =]
This 13 minute video is so wonderful, best I’ve ever seen. BIG thumbs up to the ‘artists’ who produced this masterpiece. Use full screen. The background music is so nice compared to the trash some astronomy videos pass off as ‘music.’ In the USA 82% of the people CANNOT see the Milky Way from where they live, the other 18% CAN see it. The 82% gets larger each year, while the 18% gets smaller. Here in San Diego, they are building more and more shopping centers, home improvement centers, car retail centers, housing/condo track homes, Indian casinos, etc. Way out in the east county we are loosing our former dark night sky and now only see 60% of the Milky Way. Its disappearing in the west from the combined San Diego-Tijuana light pollution. The closest place to view a similar dark night sky like Namibia is Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) which has been certified by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA). Even light pollution is starting to creep in due west of GCNP from Las Vegas, NV. One can see a very tiny light dome if someone points it out to you. Kids here in the USA think the Milky Way is a popular candy bar! As the world gets brighter and brighter with its LED lighting and other high tech illumination, people in the future won’t even see Sirius, Canopus, or Vega. How I’d love to visit Namibia, having heard of so many great reports about their starry dark pristine night skies. Enjoy the night skies while you can before you get old and start going blind like me... Keep lookin up! 🔭🙂
This may sound corny, but this video almost brought me to tears because of how breath-takingly beautiful it is. I'm so choked up. A friend recently took a photograph from the Himalayas that I thought was Photoshopped, and up until now, that was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. Deep down, I think I was meant to search the stars, but I'm too chicken to be out in the middle of nowhere to see it. Thank you for bringing it to us!
Hiç ilgim olmasada bir gece ansızın gökyüzü videosu izlemek istedim. Çok rahatlatıcı ve keyif verice bir çalışma koyulmuş ortaya. Emeği geçen herkese teşekkürler.
Thank you... It's totally perfect.
Now I need to go to Namibia and see it by myself!
I think it really changes people's minds.
And the music! The music is incredibly wonderful! : )
Magnificent! Thank you very much for the show of grandeur!
This is the most beautiful 13 mins I have spent today.....
Peaceful, dazzling, reflective, natural, meditative, transforming, electric, hypnotic......and more!
How I long to live in a place where just by simply looking up to the sky at night can take your breath away and inspire your thoughts and creativity as if you where a child again.
In the city I am luck to see a decent view of the moon let alone Jupiter and the Orion nebula. The red/pinkish color from Orion was actually visible! Jupiter was nearly the size of the moon! Sin or not there is envy running through my mind, envy of all those who see such wonderful sights, and even more so of those who see them yet don't take it for granted as many would.
my friend, try to visit that place and see it yourself, i am sure one dat i will see it too.
What an incredible experience this was to watch!! Thank you from the depths of my soul for creating such a joyous, beautiful film of our starry world, blessings!
Stunning skies, thanks for the footage.
As someone who'd spent a week in Tivoli a couple of months before this video was made, I commend you for putting out the best portrayal by far of Namibia's perfect nights and the overwhelming presence of the Milky Way in the Southern sky. Seeing the skull-like heart of the Tarantula nebula or the bipolar homunculus of Eta Carinae through the 20" Obsession was a once in a lifetime experience.
THIS is AWESOME. In Belgium, I watched the sky in 1977 and it was beautiful, not as in the movie, but I could see the Milky way + thousands of stars and had my Norton Star atlas with me and my 8" scope. Now in 2017 on the same location I can only see a few stars at best. They ruined the place with their 'Belgium all lit' policy, and no one seems to care. Luckily my family went a few times to southern France in the late 1990's, so they KNOW and SAW what was there. Most young children will never see the magnificence of the REAL sky, they only see the moon and half a dozen of stars. Thank you Belgium for ruining yet another natural wonder... Only in Wallonia, you can get a decent view now, but on every horizon there is glare. They are putting up LED-posts everywhere, of course in the Belgian way, so no shielding, let it flarein any direction! They have no clue here...
Oh my Good! That was incredible! I wished that I could see as a wonderful sky live once ! Super awesome!
your team has taken a great effort in capturing this cosmic cradle. The milky way looks spectacular in every time lapse you have taken. you should have felt as though you are the master of the universe.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your passion with others.
Mesmerizing. Thank you for this magnificent work of art. Every time I watch it, I experience an opening in my center. Living in a large city makes one forget the natural sense of belonging to something greater. I suffer from starlight depravation, I'm certain! What you have shared here is a tremendous gift! Again, many thanks!
wow guys that was so amazing, i actally was so lost in it that i had no idea how 13:25 ended
Magnificently beautiful, and instructive as well. The uploader's responses to comments are quite helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful footage and knowledge with the world. I hope this inspires people to just do what they sincerely feel is right in their hearts
Nice music too. Thank you!
This is beautiful. you were blessed with such footage..thanks for passing it on!
I wish I could like this video a million times. Bravo! 💜💜💜
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing your work!
Stunning!!!!! wish I could get dark skies even more now.
Wonderful! Thanks for posting it. Had a great time watching--and it was educational too!
Wonderful! Thank you so much! Here in central Europe with its light polluted sky it is easy to forget what the nights really look light. Thanks for marking some major objects - with all these stars I got a bit disoriented at first. I used to live in Hawaii, though (long time ago), and up at Mauna Kea Observatory the view is very similar. Your film reminded me. I am getting nostalgic...
Missing the beautiful view of sky in cities...
Vi ringrazio di cuore, mi avete fatto sognare e un po' ho immaginato di essere lì. Uno spettacolo mozzafiato, ho dovuto mettere in pausa a più riprese perché mi sentivo mancare! Grazie mille!
Oh my god! This is just unbelievable, awesome! Thank you!
I am sure I will visit namibia to watch this skies one day :)
This is the best video I've ever seen on RUclips! No doubt :)
Ich danke all den Künstlern
für dieses außergewöhnlichen und schöne kunstvolle Werk,
und ich danke loreastro für die Veröffentlichung auf RUclips.
Diese wunderschönen, meditativen Klangbilder lassen mich zur Ruhe kommen und erfüllen mich.
Magnificant view! Once I was there, Back in 2005... It is beautiful!
this was a great movie.. i happened to visit NaDEET last week a cloud clearly this planet for my self .. and how ever i now do understand and appreciate the effort you put in this movie. and i am currently writing a module for environmental education on HERITAGE. this movie gave me another point of view. Keep it up..
This is the most enchanting video on RUclips.
Awesome work guys... i appreciate ur work ......this video is awazing...i have downloaded this video and i have shown ur work to my hundreds of friends online...its very pleasing ...i feel good very time i see ur video.....hats off..:)
what sooo coool i love looking at stars that movie just made my day luv ya
Indémodable, je crois que je la regarde une fois tous les ans depuis que c'est sorti :) on s'en lasse jamais
Incredible, more incredible even than the night sky in the Highlands of Scotland! Thanks.
Grazie mille! Semplicemente affascinante! ...con un pò (tanta) d'invidia. Grazie ancora
Uploaded on my birthday. Thank you for this present, lol.
Really though, this is magnificent.
@I'd like to eat blades of grass Oh goodness, thank you!! 💜
That's awesome. We don't get a nice sky where I live. I hope you always remember the night sky you slept under.
this is amazing# you have done a great work filming this!.. you have inspired me so much thanks a lot....
Southern skies are wonderful...thanks
The biggest challenge is finding an idea location to catch such majestic views ... In any case everybody is too busy to look up and sometimes admire the beauty of the universe . Afterall we are the stuff of stars !
Awesome~! Simply AWESOME~!
Thank You for your artistry~!
What a beautiful Video, many thanks for sharing, wonderful.
From someone who has seen the night sky only from about 32 North (Dallas, Phoenix, and San Diego) and 48 North (Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, USA) I see clearly what I have been missing.
The night sky is best seen from an isolated, desert or near-desert location.
Absolutely breathtaking, you tube in general is full of crap. This is by far the most amazing video I have ever watched, National geographic would proud to air this.
Truly beautiful... such amazing work
amazing sequence of shots! This video's view count should be in the millions.
Thank you !!! Sweeet...such skill you have to put it nicely together. The creator's handiwork you've beautifully captured :-)
Wow! Im impressed...! This video gives a very good impression what you can feel when you are under a real dark sky. You dont need big telescopes to watch this. It's a pity most that people can't see such a sky this because of the light polluted cities. One day I come to Namibia, too....and watch the Milky Way casting shadows :-)
It's simply awesome! I always love watching the night sky.From my childhood I wished to become an astronomer.I am so much in love with night sky filled with stars.I even wish to sleep under the sky every day! But unfortunately I don't have a chance to learn and study about sky.In my country we don't have much courses or streams to do so.We can go abroad to study but that's so expensive.So now my ambition is to become a doctor.Any way I will continue to love and study about the stars!!
Many many .....CONGRATULATIONS !!!
wow...beautiful!!!!
7mugwumps i'm from Syria
I'm glad this masterpiece is so long.
Fantastic! The setting Milky Way.great ! Thank You for sharing.
This is the best of the many sky videos I have seen. Now my map of the sky will be more useful because of your sky labels.
Belo show de imagens. Parabens!!!
wow its beautiful. I grow up seeing it everyday of my life.
No no assolutamente!!! :D Era solo curiosità, in quanto appassionato di astrofotografia ma ancora alle prime armi.
Complimenti ancora!!!
When I look into such skies it takes me always two minutes to realise I am looking into the FUCKING UNIVERSE. the idea seems too huge sometimes!
13 minutes well spent ... amazing video
The standard tecnique of timelapses use a common DSLR with an external intervalometer to trigger the shots in proper length and interval. Then images are processed and joined on a PC using various softwares.
You can find a tutorial on my website, search "timelapse cedic comolli".
I saw a REALLY red star to the left and below Jupiter and found it on my maps - it's 19 Piscium, one of the reddest stars known! Shows up beautifully in your video.
I'm excited for what's next 🥰😛 life's precious all so thankful for being given this experience ⏳🐒
Can't describe this in words. JUst wow and a great work
Thanks for the Upload.
