Because I just found it on an old USB stick I offer to you this 20 year old 320x240@15fps "video" of the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) having a stretch.
This is the result of running a script in the telescope control software called "Cook's Tour". The original documentation describes the purpose of this script as being to "induce nausea in the prime focus observer". When that was written the AAT was still used for prime focus photography (yes, with big glass photographic plates) which required an astronomer to be inside that black cyclinder at the top of the telescope (actually another fairly similar one) during the night, in total darkness. Cook's Tour would be a fun ride for them.
More recently it was useful as a test of telescope movement control during the mid 2000's when the telescope control system was being replaced, and it has always been and continues to be a good way to show the telescope off to visitors or get cool videos.
This version of the video is not in real time, it's been sped up by a factor of a few.
