This video, taken on the last night of the Oregon Star Party, starts out with the camera pointed at the main viewing area at sunset. As it gets dark, you can see all the red lights people use to work their telescopes without losing their night vision.

The camera pans around to the sunrise the next morning, showing Jupiter and then Venus rising right before the sun. The crescent moon probably rose behind a tree, or it would have been visible. Then you can see people breaking camp and driving away on Sunday morning.

This is the first time I've captured the sun setting and rising in the same time lapse video using a horizontal Ioptron SkyTracker for panning.
