Pacific Northwest Nights - A Timelapse Journey from Matt Dieterich on Vimeo.

In honor of International Dark Sky Week 2017, I am proud to share my timelapse production "Pacific Northwest Nights", which I created to raise awareness for night sky education and conservation efforts to limit light pollution. I created this film using over 7,000 individual photos when I worked in the Pacific Northwest as an Astronomy Ranger intern at Mt. Rainier National Park.
