Done & done! Yes, time lapse. I have a Sony Digital Handycam & it has a menu option called Interval which lets you choose among 4 delay periods (30 sec, 1min, 5min, or 10 minutes) as well as four record times (2sec,1.5sec, 1sec, & .5 sec) I have the camera set to record 2 seconds every 5 minutes; it is pointing straight up with the top of the view oriented North.
UFO's, meteors, contrails, aircraft, clouds, stars....I plan to catch a bit of each.
The camera setup is temporary just now, with it propped on a stool with a duffel bag wrapped 'round it, the power supply on the ground, & a live feed cable running through the window to a TV.
Nothing to report so far but clear blue sky. Weather permitting, I may try to keep it out as is for several days.
Thanks for the prodding Infamous; just what I hoped for.
The Straight-Up Cam is now operational.
