I *LOVE* time lapsed stuff, in every way. The dozen cameras in my house all take a picture every minute, and then ad midnight make a movie out of it, EVERY DAY. Its AMAZING.

I saw an animated nebula once, and it looked really cool, even if just a few frames.

I'd LOVE to see the JWT focus on some nebula or something dynamic out there in the cosmos and get like a pic a day for a month or something, or maybe a pic a year for a decade, I dunno. I just bet the end results are spectacular.

You sound really cool! I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to record time lapse driving videos. I'd love it if there was a camera that recorded video at around 15 FPS.

I've been through a few dashboard cameras (Texas sun in a black car w/black interior kills em) and most do get you the ability to record at lower FPS. Security cameras I know do, but my current dashboard cam I've had a couple years and don't remember if it does :(

Just to be clear this isn't a time lapse. It's a single photos that has capture the galaxy at three different points in time. This is possible due to gravitational lensing. Light from the galaxy took three paths to get to us, each one longer than the last.
