Thank you Marcus
It's easy to forget that the sky is not as static as we may think.

Thanks Brendan, yes it is great to see it unfold right before our eyes. I'm going to keep an eye on this one in the coming years.

I can't believe how far it actually moves.

Thanks Doug
It is surprisingly fast. Those 3.85 arcseconds pr. year can amount to quite a few pixels, depending on the focal length.

Thanks Terry, yeah I recall your animation, it is great. You have a much longer history with this fellow
I hope to eventually collect a similar number of frames over the years.

Would be interesting to see a sequence of say weekly or monthly images and watch for any effects of parallax shift too.
Great stuff mate.

Thank you Mike
I don't send it around at work, my colleagues would most likely just look odd at me
I have thought of trying to record the parallax too but it is only around 0.75 arcseconds - still that should just be noticeable in an animation I think. But the proper motion is by far the largest component.
