Proxima centaurus
Since 2001 I have taken occasional images of proxima centaurus with the plan of demonstrating it's propper motion. I have created a little animation of 6 frames taken between feb 2001 and June 2007. The animation is pretty crappy but I'm no expert at making the animations. It certainly demonstrates the obvious propper motion of the closest star to us.
The field is about 6 arcmin high.
