Thanks Andrew, Mid transit I detached the camera to use the barlow for a few closer ups, then off agian for continued prime focus captures for the animation, the camera was 31.4degs rotated for the second half, unintentionally ? so the 2nd half all needed rotating then all images needing to be cropped and centered, , mmm, sucker for punishment


Appreciated also David & Mike !

Cheers Tom & Richard, Glad you found it worth the watch, was interesting lining up the disc in each frame as it appeared to be minisculey different size and shape, upto 3-4 pixles on some, prob due to atmospheric turbulances ? ?
Rgrds !

nicely presented!

[astronobob (Bob)]

Appreciated Mario & David.

I may have another attempt at this as I have Not processed any images resulting in low surface brightness, was worried about matching all the frames consistantly in Levels, colour etc ? should try adjusting each frame to same amount and see what goes ? ?

Cheers !
