Stars - My second time lapse (lame and boring)

Well, this one sucks.  Lame.
It's best viewed in full screen in a dark room so you can see all the stars.
The problem is, that Vimeo lowered the rez down so bad that you can only see a coupe stars. On my monitor, watching the video from my harddrive, the constellation Orion is plainly visible in the upper right corner of the screen. The Vimeo full screen is almost impossible to see the dimmer stars. Only in the darkest room, with a decent monitor can the smaller stars be seen.

I'm sure a camera setting would help "smear" the images into something that looks cooler. Shutter open longer?
This just looks like you're watching the stars "fast forward". Boring....  :?

That was a terrible sales pitch Bob, but you do speak the truth in this case! :P

Facts is facts......and the truth sometimes hurts.  :duh:

By the way, the resolution is low on purpose. Until I figure out what I'm doing, I'm doing it the quick and easy way. When I get better, I'll start doing in higher res.
