M31_V1 Animation

Hello,

I worked with Rob Gendler to animate the first Cepheid varible discovered in M31 by Edwin Hubble.

"This Cepheid was the first on the list of about 40 cepheids discovered by Edwin Hubble in the 1920's using the 100" hooker telescope at Mount Wilson.
The data was used to determine the distance to M31 and prove the existence of galaxies beyond our own. This had a monumental impact on cosmology and our understanding of the universe. - Rob Gendler"

Image Acquisition: Michael Joner and David Laney (BYU) .9 meter
Image Processing: Robert Gendler
Animation: Ken Crawford

Thought you might find it interesting . . .

Kindest regards,

Ken, I have always wondered where in M31 the V1 was located. Not only have you shown it but given it to us by a superb animation. The variability isnt that much to my untrained eye but its there.
What a great addition to general astronomy but also as a teaching aid.
Really brilliant and thanks to all involved.
Magnificent effort.

Nice Ken

Be careful mate or Lisa Frattare will want you on the Heritage Team. Nice fly in at the start too.

Missed you at the end - you seemed too busy to bother but a private email will be coming in the next day or two (I just got home yesterday)

Thx for the great experience over there

Thanks Mark! It was great to see you there, the only bummer about running the show and being the MC is that I never got much time to just visit with the attendees.

Kindest Regards,

Ken Crawford

Nicely done. Very subtle changes. Amazing how you guys can pick up such minute variations in intensity. My processing techniques would probably level all this if not burried in noise Top work.
