What is the Timelapse holy grail?

The Holy Grail of timelapse has been the pursuit of creating near perfect transition from day to night without much post editing. The VIEW can automatically ramp the exposure by analyzing the exposure value of each image and delivers perfect results for sunset, sunrise or milky-way captures. Automatic day-to-night and night-to-day or even 24 hours with no setup needed -- just press start!

The results are significantly better and smoother than the camera's aperture priority mode since by analyzing each image it can achieve proper exposure for the Milky Way even when ramping from noon sun, while at the same time ignoring sudden changes such as from headlights.
