Thanks for highlighting Rick.
I had pondered doing this at some point, and had no idea of the complexities involved - sure I would never have got there. Great video.\

Actually, the other project I'd considered was a series of videos over an entire night at long focal length of a mountainous area with shadows to try and show the shadows moving. Would it work? I've never done any real calculations or thought as to how much movement might be obvious over 8-10hrs??
