Solar Timelapse
This is a short section of a much larger data-set that I had been working on for some time.

The animation loops, hence a small jump (partly due to the Sun's rotation) can be seen as it recycles to the start point during the sequence.

I actually didn't know the flare shown was occurring, as the data capture was unattended..a pity as an hour's more data would have given a better result.

Anyway the link is here

(a Quicktime browser plug-in is required.... the sequence actually plays better by saving the .mp4 and then loading it into a dedicated player)

Very cool animation. QT might not be ideal. Playback is sketchy. Tried VIMEO?

Amazing work. Its amazing how the surface is writhing around. Its hard to think with that the Sun is a blazing fusion. You'd think it would all burn up rapidly and not last as long as it does.

Thanks guys...I've discovered in the world of video there seems to be a million Codecs...some preserve data, others melt it, some play smoothly, some are just plain cr@p.

Then there are the computers on which the stream is viewed.... some cope very well, some choke better than Greg Norman at a US open.

Anyway I've uploaded a fairly high-res HD stream...so, depending on your system, you may, or may not have smoothly-flowing video.

Such is life

As for the nitty gritty..... each of the 200 odd video frames (ie just a few seconds of video) was generated from 200x 600 frame .avi's.

Yes that's about 120,000 frames that needed processing....Even with a Hex Core I-7 CPU it takes time....
