    Mt. Wilson Observatory towercam time lapse (Station Fire)

    By maser  |  Posted September 7, 2009  |  Los Angeles, California
     

    We compile the Mt. Wilson Observatory towercam footage (stills taken 2 minutes apart).

     

    time lapse footage from Aug 27th to Sept 6th

     

    frame rate = 30 frames per second, thus 24 seconds = 1 day.  We are greatly indebted to the UCLA Physics and Astronomy department for providing this time lapse feed over the internet. I simply wrote a computer program to continuously downloaded these images and have produced this time lapse movie.

     

    produced by Roger L. Griffith (JPL/NASA)

     

    music by Jake Johnston - Gypsy Lullaby

     

    thank you UCLA for giving permission to use this footage
