The actual field of view was quite a bit wider.....hence the post production Pan to better show the detail. One of the big challenges is how to manage thin cloud, seeing changes and the Etalon itself doing weird stuff over many hours...I've still much to learn.

Very impressive work there Peter, the animation is beautiful. It's really interesting to see the boiling surface in action like that! A lot of effort but definitely worth it

I'll take that as high praise indeed from the wizard of ultra-deep imagery

While the whole project ( which includes quite a bit more time lapse data) took many weeks, that short time lapse sequence was taken over around 4hours....camera details etc. are on the linked page
