Damian has done an excellent job.

Paul Haese made a comment that I believe to be true. He said "probably the best ever taken by any human on this planet. In fact I am certain of that."

I agree

Yes, the rotation is stunning, a lot of work has gone into balancing all the frames to match up like that.

Lets hope we can get a few consecutive nights of excellent seeing next year in July...

cheers, Bird

I must say Pioneer and Voyager will be jealous!

Imagine what you would get if you could pack him into a spacecraft for his next holiday and point him at Jupiter...

For Windows Media Player version 11

Open Windows Media Player
Move your mouse over the "Now Playing Tab"
You will see a little arrow, click the arrow and move down and click "More Options"
Click on the "File Types" tab
Check to see if "Windows Media Video file (wmv)" has a tick in the box and hit apply.

Hope that helped.


Edit: In case that doesn't work, what version of FLV player are you using so I can download and check what options it has?

Cheers
