This was done with an SLR...

Hint: run the video, in HD if you can manage it.

So a Canon SLR costs how much? And how much did/does Hubble cost?

That time lapse video was beautiful. Definitely worth clicking the link.

Stunning video.
I have a 5" reflector telescope but the light pollution around where I live is shocking

you can buy filters that go infront of the eye piece that remove the streetlight wavelength. They are very effective and quite cheap, I live right next to a lit dual carrageway and I can see fine with one fitted.
