(btw. one of the most beautiful and impressive videos ive ever seen)

This was filmed on teneriffa, so yeah, clear sky and a preferably high place for observation is "all" you need.

I love this video.

That was just pure amazing. Both the OP's slideshow and then the video from Spain. I want to book flights to Spain now. ^^

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous, kudos to this guy for taking all those photos and making this. Reminds me of the couple times I've camped in places with minimal light pollution and got to just lay down and watch the night sky for hours. Beautiful

I have trouble taking hour long exposures on my telescope, let alone traveling 96500km taking pics everywhere. This man is a hero!

Wow, what an amazing image. Quite a lot of dedication out of that man to do this and sharing it with the world. It really is beautiful to see the night sky so fully.

Wait, is this really how space looks around earth? Is it really this obvious that milky way is a disc-shaped galaxy, or am I just not seeing this right?

it really is that obvious, the middle of our sky is a band of milky stars (the work galaxy comes from the greek "Galacos" meaning milk).... if it weren't for all the street lights, you would see it yourself every night. Especially near the equator or in the southern hemisphere.
