Hi All
Just a follow up of the posting of the Eris image that appeared on the Space Weather site by Dennis
We also have another Aussie Steve Quirk in NSW who managed to do an animation of Eris over three nights with the GStar-Ex CCD Video Camera
This would have been quite a challenge
Follow link below to his site

Also if you click on Pluto at the bottom there is also an animation
of Pluto

Regards
Dave

Thanks for the news and link Dave. Steve has made a very impressive animation of such a dim object as Eris and with a non-cooled ccd camera. A remarkable and very fine achievement.

Cheers

Hi Dennis
Congrats must go out to you to for your image of Eris on Space Weather site well done
Steves animation must also have been quite a challenge as well
The GStar is such a great camera and just continues to amaze me as you know I have one myself along with expanding list of users

Dennis if you want to see a list of objects Steve has done with the GStar follow the link Doug above supplied

Thanks also Doug for the link for Proxima

Dave
