Effectively, these 2 Time Lapses cover the periods of -
- 55 minutes up until the actual sunset, and,
- 55 minutes after the actual sunset


RESULTS
Objective 1
- I was able to film one complete Time Lapse
of Frame Rate 360 frames, at 10 second intervals, over 1 hour real time.
Objective 2
- I started the first Time Lapse with a fully charged battery.
The battery ran out after filming 1 and 2/3 Time Lapses.
Objective 3
- There is a little bit of adjusting that can be seen over the length of the videos,
so they are not seamless Time Lapses.
But, it was better than I expected.
Objective 4
- Once the light faded from the sky from the sunset,
and here I was facing the camera away from the sunset, so it was only getting reflected light,
the camera also could only generally see darkness.
Though, it was able to pick up a reflected glow on the rocks from an orange street light
behind it.
