A very stunning little sequence and damn well captured by William Castleman.

Equipment used was a modified Canon 5D with a 15mm fisheye lens @ f2.8. Camera tripod mounted (sure you guessed that bit already) facing South East. 20 second exposures each minute giving a final frame rate of 15 frames per second.
