Just playing around with my first timelapse...notice the gutter in the bottom right.

Timelapse #2 http://exposureroom.com/getassetthumbnailimage.aspx?id=52e106e0eae04562aadf5749516f5381&size=sm (http://exposureroom.com/members/jasonboyette.aspx/assets/52e106e0eae04562aadf5749516f5381/)

and 2nd effort

FYI, used a 24-70 2.8
and the knockoff timer that looks like the canon one

Not bad for a first (and second) attempt. Care to share your settings for these (f-stop, shutter, ISO, all that noise)?

The really bright light in the 2nd one... moves at the same speed as the stars. Can't be the moon, right? Too bright to be a planet... what is it?

Apart from the moon, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky, so yes it could very well be a planet.
