Here's my first attempt at an animation. It shows Mars and the Beehive Cluster, taken at about 8 pm each night for the last 8 nights, using a tripod-mounted K100D with 300mm telephoto lens and 8-10 sec exposures at 1600 iso. It gives a good indication of how fast Mars moves!
I had to make it small to fit the posting requirements. Hope you like it!
Nice work Stephen and 10 out of 10 for dedication! This is a lovely animation illustrating how these "wandering stars" move amongst the fixed stars. I can only imagine what the ancient sky watchers must have felt when they observed this phenomenon over several nights and seasons.
