Sun in Lunt50: FD animation

Post by Ivan »

Hello,
This animation is the result of my almost daily filming in July. I shot every day from 5 to 18, except for 10, then the weather did not allow me to shoot anything :( I suffered for a long time trying to put it on Flickr and I did not succeed. Therefore, I reduced the size of frames three times (each frame is a mosaic of 6 fragments) and post them here. These are two files 2 and 2.3 mb. One of them I will delete after a couple of days to save space on the server.

I would be glad to receive your comments, criticism and advice.
Thanks for watching.

Ivan

That’s cool Ivan! I use Astrobin to post my animations since I can post the link with a thumbnail and not take up space on this forum.

Thanks Warren, I haven't registered there yet, but I'll take care not to take up a lot of forum space.

This is fabulous Ivan :bow :bow :bow I still have an animation from about 10 years ago in CaK, I have never worked out how to align them so the active regions rotate straight. The only way I worked out it would work would be to take the picture at exactly the same time every day so the orientation was the same. You did a very good job!! well done.

One point about file sizes though, if you use Astrobin I can't post as a SPOD as it refuses to give a decent sized thumbnail or original gif :( so won't present properly in the forum.

Very well achieved on your work for this animation Ivan.

As far as the very slightly-larger file-size, I wouldn't imagine it making any difference in this particular scenario of animation.
In fact I can only imagine that for so many individual-frames to make up this or any animation, one would have to reduce each frame so much in size, that the necessary detail could well be lost. Please leave them on here for longer...

I wonder whether (if you are lucky enough to have enough time) to actually level the brightness/contrast to equal between each frame, which would certainly add to the beauty of your work !! He He !!

Thanks very much for sharing
Terry
