Jupiter July 23 animation test AVI
I spent today playing around with WinJupos to generate cylindrical maps from my two good images from yesterday... and then hacked around on a rotating sphere script written as a plugin for The Gimp, reworked it into a "Jupiter Animation" plugin...
So here's a link to a test AVI, I guess what I need to know is whether this works for you or not, in case I have to use a different codec or something to generate the avi...
The avi is not too big, it's just under 1.3Mb.
http://www.acquerra.com.au/astro/gal...00723-anim.avi
Note: The phase is not quite right, as this is a reconstructed 3D video, I've tried to put the light source about where the sun should be but I'm not sure it's exactly right.
Feedback welcome
cheers, Bird

Ok Anthony, that is the finest planetary animation I have seen.
How do you top that effort?
I very much enjoy watching you push the boundary's of planetary imaging.
Cheers !

umm, I guess I'd like to get more than 120 degrees of data :-) It'd be cool to see the whole globe.

In winter on a clear night is it possible to get 360deg in 10 hours? or are there other constraints? (besides sleep and a day job?).
Or 5hrs data per night with similar seeing over 2 nights (although the moons would be out of phase). Do you have an idea on this Anthony?

2 nights under ideal conditions around opposition is all you need, 3 nights if you can't get enough data or have viewing obstructions.

Very cool, Anthony. Works fine as an animation. Definitely much smoother than the typical animated gif.

That is very nice. I might have to go over my 2008 data. Great idea.

Great animation 
Very smooth motion and excellent graphics. Just needs the rest of the planet!!
Your sun position looks OK...just use your left hand to simulate the position relative to the screen. You'll see what I mean.

Hmm, I'm using the msmpeg4v2 codec, it should be supplied with any recent version of Windows - maybe your copy of mediaplayer is a little old (Assuming you're using Windows of course).
On my linux system it plays fine with mplayer, I don't have access to a mac to test that platform as well...

No problem - share away! Putting it up on YouTube means that bandwidth is someone elses problem :-)
