Have you ever seen the Milky Way? I have never lived far enough away from an urban center to enjoy a truly dark sky. This video taken by William Castleman at the Texas Star Party earlier this year goes a long way toward making up for my geographical challenges.

All night time-lapse video of sky over Texas Star Party in Fort Davis, Texas taken with 15mm fisheye lens. Stars, constellations, meteors and satellites can be seen passing overhead for most of the evening. The video ends with the bright galactic core of the Milky Way rising above the horizon and overhead.
See a much higher resolution video at Vimeo. Astrographs and videos at the Castleman link above along with information on what you are actually seeing.
