There’s something fascinating in our own home galaxy. Even if we still cannot look at it from above and gaze at the full span of its arms, the sideway view offers a quite a showdown. To me the central part of the milky way is the most spectacular sight of the night sky. It’s something you can clearly see with the naked eye when you are away from city lights. It’s a sight that really brings your down to Earth and lets you wonder at how small we are, while comforting you in the thought that you are part of this Earth and the Universe. I could gaze for hours at the central bulge and just contemplate its compelling beauty from where it rises till where it sets.From a photographic and scientific point of view, this part of the milky way is so interesting to capture and study because if our solar system is located in its suburbs, the downtown district of our home galaxy harbors billions upon billions of stars. They are so concentrated that the total light coming from them can be seen millions of light years away and really creates this halo of light visible when you take a picture of it, much like a fire blazing. However a thick blanket of dark hydrogen clouds shroud and block the complete view. You can even see these fine dark lanes with the naked eye and they really participate in making the whole picture something from another world. Of all of them the Pipe and Dark Horse nebulae are descending down the core obscuring the upper part of the central bulge. In addition to this celestial show many emission nebulae- reliques of previously exploded stars, pepper the disc. Among them the bright and colorful Lagoon nebula, the pink and blue Trifid nebula, the red Cat Paw, War and Peace and Prawn nebulae around Scorpius. Moreover many star clouds (like the Sagittarius star cloud) and other remarquable star clusters also participate in strewing this already full frame. Finally the closest stars (like Antares) and near planets visible during the time of shoot (Mars, Saturn, Jupiter) also give a sense of just how ridiculously big the distance between Earth the the core is.
Being fascinated by the core since I started astrophotography where it was barely visible (Denmark), I started looking for the best places in the northern hemisphere where I could get a clear view. The first time I really saw it was on the beautiful island of Tenerife 4 years ago and I sincerely will remember that experience for the rest of my life. Gazing upon the center of our galaxy in its full glory is something everyone ought to try. That’s why I decided to dedicate the third opus of my astrolapse series ‘Galaxies’ exclusively to the core, assembling my best clips to date and bringing them to the public, mainly to raise awareness and to get our night sky a bit more attention. I was appalled by just how many people have never seen the milky way so maybe by showing the true beauty of the universe I could contribute in my own limited way to bringing the real dark skies to the hectic and light polluted urban jungle.
The goal once again was to use the best techniques in astrophotography and time-lapse to exploit each frame to its maximum without compromising the quality. From planning, to traveling to remote locations, to shooting with some of the best astro-gear, and eventually finding a novel post-processing workflow, I was able to get some astounding and never-seen-before sequences of the core. Traveling to very elevated and dark places allowed me to get the best signal to noise ratio as well as the best ‘contrast effect’ in the halo created by the stars in the bulge. The array of extremely sharp and bright lenses I utilized permitted to decrease shutter speed and get less motion blur while getting extremely clean shots with little aberration. The use of an astro-modified camera (Canon 6D), light pollution filters (Pure night, Nachtlicht) and a star tracker (Vixen Polarie) enabled me to capture the H-alpha emission nebula better and generally get better contrast and light altogether (See the two previous episodes for explanation). To create motion I also used the Syrp Genie I 3-axis system and the Vixen Polarie. I really wasn’t interested in just getting the usual wide-angle shots of the milky way and tried a lot of different set-ups to get a new view on the core. I am really proud to say that thanks to a lot of relentless work to find the best astrolapse workflow, these sequences are some of the most defined available on the market with some of the best quality and true-to-life colors.

Thankyou for such amazing photography!
This is fantastic! I'm sharing this with my subs, they will love it!
we do..
Yes we do!! Thank you 😊
Majestic
Great shout
Came from Astrum, beautiful clip
Stunning!!
Absolutely amazing, it’s a shame RUclips doesn’t recommend these types of videos and I only found this through a friend
Absolutely!!
Beautiful images, Incredible the Galaxies, 👏👏👏💥💥💥🌠🌠🌠
This is so beautiful. Thank you for all your time and effort put into this video. It was worth it!
Too long ago, on the clearest December night imaginable, I got to spend the better part of an hour looking at space from about 13,000 feet up on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was a civilian observatory and hardly anyone was there, perhaps owing to how close it was to Christmas. To see the rings of Saturn as well as, yes, our own beautiful Milky Way, is one of my best memories in this life thus far. Thank you for not only this marvelous film, but for the lyrical quality of your words in the description. All blessings to you and, as ever.. Pax et lux.🙋🔭🌌👁️
"Pax et lux" ❤
That sounds absolutely incredible. Do you believe in the afterlife?
You know you have watched something truelly mesmerizing when it feels like your heart is stopping... very slowly... and you feel your soul leaving your body.😍 Our planet and life IS BEAUTIFUL...
Absolutely love the shots where the horizon fills the top of the screen as opposed to the bottom. It really gives you a true perspective of our position in the universe - "down" is only relative. We are just specs on a rock floating through infinite space time. Incredible work.
This is better than anything i have ever seen on TV!
NIGHT_Walker thank you so very much :)
I said exactly the same thing to my wife watching this on my 4k tv. If it wasn't for youtube we would never get to see this kind of content. And if fx the BBC would(!) make a documentary like this, the mainstream media would be raving about it with positive reviews. As it is 7000 views. Insane.

Are these all real untampered videos of the night sky!? If so, fantastic work, underrated channel 👌🏼.
وزينا سماء الدنيا بمصابيح وجعلناها رجوما لشياطين يا رب ما اعظمك ما ابدعك يا حي يا قيوم لك الحمد ولك الشكر بديع السماوات والارض اللهم انصر الاسلام والمسلمين
Loved the concept of keeping the galaxy fixed and letting the world pass by.
Its BREATHTAKING.
I'm really picky and hard to please with galaxy photos and our own Milky Way, but you have hit a home run with these images, thank you. Just watched on laptop and will watch again tonight on my big screen tv, can't wait!
I had heard about galaxies and unknown world's with strange passengers but now I have seen all that through your effort .
Thank you so much to introduce us with the reality of life in skies
Espectacular video
No words for this! outstanding!
Thank you SO much Bram! :)

feel so tiny......IT'S BREATHTAKING! wish we can see this every nite with our eyes THANK YOU! For showing ups behind the veil
"...while comforting you in the thought that you are part of this Earth and the Universe."
You're doing a great job delivering this sensation in your videos!
Wow well I'm really happy to hear that!!
5 minutes of poetry. Congratulations.
Amazingly Amazing💫, top work👍, very happy to watch this, thank you❤️❤️❤️
OMG ,this is so beautiful!!! I'm at a loss for words to describe how amazing this video is!
just brilliant!!! found your video thru Allyn wallace's video on telephoto portraits or something where your guys play around with long focal lengths n get portraits... brilliant stuff.. every video is a masterpiece! your passion shines thru every video man! you're an inspiration to newbie's like me :) wish you all the best for getting more visibility and fame on youtube.
Videos like this always calm & relaxes my mind 😌
Seeing these pictures lets you speechless... I am convinced that there is an amazing Creator behind this amazing universe! Those who don't agree with me mustn't agree...
Exactly Gabriel Popa ... the universe is too vast and man is too intelligent to have come from some type of bang. Praise God
@@TACKLEtv humans calling ourselves intelligent is a sign that we arent intelligent.
I feel leaving this to "a creator did it" is such a small minded way of thinking. Man made god, not the other way around. It's ignorant to think that some magical being made everything, its just another way for humans to try and make themselves the center of the universe when we're not. To say God did it, is just.a fsncy way of saying I don't understand it so there for a deity did it. That's small minded and ignorant, not to mention a very boxed in way of.thinking and in no way expands the mind.
@@thegreatallanu Sorry, but I have a problem with our "amazing" intelligence... When you look at the state of our world you have certain doubts about the human intelligence... Destroing our ecosystems for the sake of "making" money that at last it's not covered with real value but has only a fake value! Another point is that we don't even know what we are talking about when we speak about gravity or dark matter... That is also a kind of fairy tale story presuming there was a Big Bang... But sorry, why is it so that the universe is speeding up??? 🤔 Where does this extra energy comes from? Questions, questions but no answers!
@@hope4all69 i love how you went off on shit I wasn't even talking about. Typical of you Bible thumpers. The second someone questions how ignorant it is to think a magical sky daddy made everything they completely change the subject. Because I'd rather have questions I can't answer than have answers i can't question. Keep living in your bubble of ignorance, I live in the real world where science rules not your genocidal tyrant god

Just shows how deep you can connect with the universe our mankind might be troubled but we are blessed with the knowledge that we possess. I'm into Theoretical Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics. And I know that this is a big time thing to see. Just amazement on how small we are. Just gives you more hope.
Space is awesome!!😎😎😎😎😎😎✌✌👍
This is truly the best night sky video I have ever seen in my life
Thanks George!!
Great great job!!!!
This is the Beauty of Astronomy ❤️
Thank you for writing these stories of life down through your eyes and camera. These greatly remind us how vast, magnificent and loving life simply is. That all possibilities lie ahead are immensely beautiful.
You're welcome!!
Amen.
Absolutely Amazing pictures!!!!! In my book, you earned the Photography of the Year anytime!!!
It's the most amazing time lapse I have ever seen in my lifetime. Thank you very much indeed for that.
Waaaaaa... Comment c'était bien 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍
I can only stare in amazement at your art. I see ,not just the beauty of the night sky, I see the Opus of your love for Dark Skies.
Stunning love letters
Freedom never looked so incredibly beautiful. Awesome music choice for this masterpiece that makes all the cares of this world and the headaches melt away. To know that there's an infinite range of possibilities and places to go after life ends here gives one an amazing sense of peace.
Not wish upon a star, Wish upon a trillion stars¡
This is soooo mesmerizing 🤩🤩🤩
Great film , music well selected 👍
Think about all the other species and all the other planets up there.. is mind-blowing! You know this feeling, when you are laying in bed, watching videos like this and think about stuff like this? Its just amazing!
Thank you very much . From Indonesia
EPIC!
As someone who has explored and researched timelapse photography, I can only imagine the amount of hard work, dedication, and knowledge put into this. Adrien, this is truly stunning. You are an inspiration.
Wow thank you so much for the support and the compliment man! I truly value it, you have no idea!! I also enjoy your inspirational videos a lot!! Could be great to collaborate at some point!! :)
Yeah that would be awesome! I need to use my star tracker one of these days lol! Thankfully I'm going to college in North Dakota, so it's only a short drive to some primo dark skies.
Ohhh yeah N.D. is also awesome for aurora!! Lucky you! :)
If only it were solar maximum... lol
Deep water, nice. Thanks
This is why I love going up to the top of Mauna Kea whenever I have the chance,
I just can't fathom how people can see something like this, and still say that the Earth is flat.
Love it so much... thanks bro.. amazing video
Adrien you have mastered the tracker!!! the shots where the earth moves and the sky is fixed are amazing and new in my book. Great work, lots of nights without sleep!!!
Thank you so very much Gustavo!! Really warms my heart! yes I love them too :) And yes lots of sleepless nights for sure ;)
Magnificent wonderful galaxy
Love our home
Very nice! Enjoyed your work.
Just incredible!
Eyegasm
Beutifull...Perfect...there are no words,thanks
Thanks a lot Juan!!
Hammock's 'Numinous', in the background, if anyone is wondering :D. loving em, loving this!
Cristóbal Demetrius love this soundtrack too! That’s why I licensed it :)
@@NightLightsFilms love me some post rock/ambient tracks! Big fan of this genre. Explosions in The Sky, Caspian, TWDY, This Patch Of Sky, GIAA, Maybeshewill, Immanu El, The Echelon Effect, Lights&Motion, Jakob, Oh Hiroshima, We Lost The Sea, Moonlit Sailor, Moving Mountains, Sigur Ros, Nevermind the Name, Paint The Sky Red, Mogwai & Mono, GY!BE... and others. But Hammock introduced me to post-rock!
wow that shot at 1:48.. think that was taken on our earth :) thanks Adrien for these images!!!
Thanks man!
A beautiful attempt at looking at one of our universes. Many thanks.
Wonderful!
Outstanding views of our galaxy. The composition is simply magical. As always a brilliant work! Best regards from Tenerife.
Thank you so much mate!! :) Regards from Norway!
89 people thought it meant
“dis-I-like”
Just a little confusion no big deal we realize there’s no actual human that could dislike somethings so breathtaking.
I would actually love to hear someone give an explanation as to why Someone might not like this. Maybe they wouldn’t like it because it scares them? Do they think of aliens?
Maybe they dislike the video because they don’t like the actual subscriber? I just sometimes like to try to figure out why people dislike videos like this one this is just an example of many many videos out there that get very few dislikes but there still is some and I just wonder what the heck these people are thinking. Or are there just people that miserable out there that like to troll Pages and just be negative and miserable. I don’t know this all just came across my mind just now lol
Это прекрасно!
Come and visit Lake tekapo in New Zealand. The night sky is a unesco world heritage site and the light pollution is highly restricted. Best place in the southern hemisphere to see the night sky.
An ocean of stars
I am absolutely..... Spechless. What an amazing acomplishement. Extremely beatiful. Kudos to you man
Torbjørn Gustafson thank you so much man!! Really appreciate it :)
Sublime
I got goosebumps. Just completely awe-struck. Well done =)
Thanks. the beautiful and amazing creation by the great Creator. Indeed there is no one/nothing like Him. All the universe in a systematic and balanced ways reflects to His power.
Beautiful
No human can recreate this beauty.
Thank you Adrien Maduit for your exquisite contributions to the creations of mankind. You probably do this just as a passion and don't make any money off of it. Just know that people all around the world look at your art and you give us 6 minutes of pure delight.
I'm realy into physics, quantum mechanics, et cetera, but to see the universe like this, to see our earth tumbling in space, rotating upside down against a fixed galaxy core (4:32), brilliant! It allmost amazes me why we as modern humans (who normally never get to witness this) seem to have such a "deep instinct" built into our genome to recognize this as profoundly beautifull. Thousands of years of stargazing by our ancestors in much darker times? Or are the quantum vibrations that lie at our core recognizing home? Mind you, I did watch this stoned :)
Here, here!! 💯🖒
🤣
Great stopping point you mentioned.
The genome, and our past...we maybe came from there...
Wow, Adrien - your astro- imaging just gets better and better! This is a magnificent video. I think NASA should hire you to promote space exploration using your beautiful work! Thanks for sharing - this has made my day.
Thanks a lot Richard for this comment!! I'm happy it did ;)
Seconded.
I love the few shots where you hold on a distant point and let the earth move.
My goodness, this is something of a different level. Respect man, great work!
Wow... what a work of art! Must have taken months if not years to get all that footage, and many hours/days to get it just right for the video. Truly incredible!
Absolutely stunning! Great job!!! 👍🏻
Wonderful
Amazing. Great job.
Wow! Stunning captures! Truly magical. If ever we need reminding of this amazing world we simply have to look up! Thanx................
Thank you SO much mate! Yes that was my goal! :)
Thank you so much for this work! It’s like therapy for the soul to watch this.
Thanks!! I'm happy it is :)
What an amazing video. Its incredible just the sheer amount of stars that are in our galaxy which is duplicated in every other galaxy out there. Many thanks for this.
Best timelapse I’ve ever seen...
The most perfect video I've seen🌌✨ Congratulations 🐶✌️
Spectacular. Inspirational. Awesome, in the true sense of the word. Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍🇦🇺

I have never seen the night ky like this because of light pollution in my locality
Tanks Night Light Films for doing such a great job
I had goosebumps for nearly this entire video. This is incredible and truly puts life into perspective. We are so incredibly small compared to the universe in which we live.
Thanks a lot Ryan!! :) Much appreciated! And yes I agree!!
Yes, no Words!
No Words,the way it is made is absolutely brilliant and the music also fits perfectly
Love you man
Good Job!
Just one word - WOW!!!
Wonderfull! !
I just discovered your channel and I’m very glad that I did.
'When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers the moon and the stars which you have ordained, what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man that you visit him?' Psalm 8 verses 3 & 4 - The Bible. What a great God we have!
WOW. That gave me chills. Just amazing : )
Des vues toujours aussi magnifiques. Une référence pour les time lapses de ciel étoilé. Bravo Adrien !
Guillaume Doyen merci beaucoup encore in fois Guillaume :)
