IMAX footage
In 2018 Archer was commissioned by IMAX to capture footage of Pan-STARRS telescopes as they tracked the night sky for asteroid threats to Earth. Multiple nights of below freezing temperatures were a small price to pay for a dream come true. His time-lapses are featured in the full length film.
