Time Lapse Video's while docked at night

[Laszlo]

Will be docked in Bermuda for two nights in a few weeks. We have a forward cabin on the Gem with a huge balcony. I was hoping to do some night time lapse of the stars with my GoPro. I've done them from home and they turn out very nice. If the stars are bright I do a 20 second exposure. Has anyone tried this before? I wondering if the moment from the ship will be too much?

Too long without a reply...   I think that the movement of the ship might be an issue,   But what the heck, it's not like you are going to ruin a roll of film.  Give it a try and if it doesn't work out it's no big deal.  If it does work out show us the result...

The ship's movement can depend on many factors. Winds and tide are the obvious, but passing vessels can also cause considerable movement at the berth.
