Nice animation I'll have to have a look at it myself.

Nice work Jeanette. How do you register the frames? You could probably be a little more precise lining up each frame so the animation looks smoother.

But a great job!

Where is the comet right now? Is it naked eye?

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

LOL
I just tossed all the images into Animation Shop and let it do it's thing. Full frame, the animation doesn't look too bad. I'll have plenty of time to work on the animation now the moon is so bright.
LOL plenty of time to get the collimation of the new scope worked out too.
It's just starting it's way through Delphinus.

Like it Jeanette, the tail becomes much more apparent in the animation.
