Thanks all.
The original idea when I took the images was to see if I could demonstrate the stellar parallax of the closest star. Unfortunately I was not very rigorous in obtaining images and then the star was hidden by trees etc. If taken 6 months apart I should have been able to see the side to side wobble.
The image points are not well distributed in time.
They were taken on
26/02/2001 1/04/2001 14/05/2001 9/08/2001 21/02/2004 16/05/2005 3/05/2007 23/06/2007
The attached graph is RA vs Dec of each image. You can certainly see the parallax between the first 3 points and the 4th point taken about 6 months later.
Note some of these frames are not in the animation due to positioning issues.
