Video
This is a list of videos shot with a GoPro Hero 10. The learning curve has been steep, full of trial and error. I’d wake up in the morning, trek into the bush, and see whether I had captured something intriguing or had there been some glitch.
My knowledge of astronomy and meteorology is rank‑beginner at best, however this is no impediment to scoring a gorgeous night‑lapse video.
The most captivating daylight shots have weather. The most captivating night‑lapse shots have open sky and stars.
The videos in this list are experiments and to some I should written down the settings and field notes.
Going into the 2026 season, I’ll use a proper format and list settings for each uploaded video.
For the technical setup and options, I can only describe my experiences and the setup I’ve learned to use.
