Time lapse moon

It was another cloudless evening. I should have placed my camera in a better position but whoops.. As you see I had to move the camera to capture the second part of the moonset.

I didn't put this in the Time Lapse astronomy series simply because there was no star visible in the video. The dilemma was if I increased the exposure to a few seconds to show the stars, the crescent moon would simply 'explode' and look like the sun.
