Thanks Terry, yes it is anything but static
Alpha Centauri itself also has a rather large proper motion, but it's not as easy to see against the background stars due to the massive glare.

John.

Thanks John, yes I intend to keep an eye on it in the future. It'll be quite a feast to see what the animation looks like after 10 years or so

Even though I know the stars have a proper motion, it's a revelation to see it happening.
Thanks for that.

Thanks Molly, yes we often don't really realise they move but there are quite a few that are fast enough to notice in a relatively short time.
