I'll leave this here.

There was a video on reddit/YouTube a couple years ago of a container ship going port to port sped up 100x and sailing under zero light pollution stars. I wished it was regular speed, to fall asleep to. Now I have hope that something like that exists.

There are a few ship passages up in 4K.

Like this one:

I wished it was regular speed, to fall asleep to.

Unfortunately that video is about 80,000 photos combined, and not recorded video footage, so it's very sped up too. But it's beautiful, so a great find regardless. The night scenes in it, when slowed down to 0.1x speed only last a little under 2 min.
But I haven't had luck finding anything matching what @[email protected] asked for. I also checked Twitch, but couldn't find any.

I'm interested in seeing something like it too, so it'd be cool if someone came along with a link to something that matched!
