I have taken a couple of time lapse sequences with my Canon 50D. There are links to videos at the bottom of the pages. Let me know if there are any issues viewing the files. Thanks for looking.

Nice job Charles. I really enjoy time lapse movies of the rising Milkyway. I like how the sun comes into the field of view with the Milkyway still visable. I'm gonna try this someday when I get a timer and AC power for my camera. Thanks for posting.
