A collection of astronomical photographs by Debra and Peter Ceravolo set to music with the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.
The Comet Hyakutake time lapse movie was produced by Peter Ceravolo during it’s pass by the Earth in 1996. The non-deep sky photos with Earthly foregrounds were taken by Debra or Peter using various SLR and DSLR cameras to give the video watchers a sense of belonging to Earth as well as the Universe.
All deep sky images were taken with the Ceravolo 300mm telescope. Peter did all of the image acquisition and Debra did all of the image processing.

Hi Sherry, thank …
Hi Sherry, thank you. I agree that IZ’s voice is ‘heavenly’. I first heard him in Hawaii while visiting the Big Island.

There are so many options out there to get started, the best advice I can give is to get the book Backyard’s Astronomers Guide by Terrance Dickenson and Alan Dyer. There you can learn a lot about the equipment needed. But also just as important is learning how to do image processing. My favourite book for that is Photoshop Astronomy by Scott Ireland. Hope that helps!

Hello again, I have a 70-300mm zuiko lense, what type of telescope would you suggest I use, or what else would I need. I have a 10 mp dslr olympus E-410, any help would be great, and by the way great song.

Absolutely stunning. And I can’t imagine a better choice of music to go with it: Bruddah IZ was a treasure, and so is this vid.
Thanks for sharing it!

You are welcome and you are right. There is beauty all around us, here on Earth and in the sky. Capturing it in a camera can be challenging but definitely worth the effort.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe such beauty is always there to behold, but if you look hard enough your effort is rewarded. Thanks for sharing!

I have tried to reply several times but no joy. Most of these photos were taken with our Ceravolo 300mm telescope and an Apogee U16M CCD camera. Details of deep sky images are on our website. See posted info description.
