Joe, Using Photoshop: You can make the .gif in photoshop by using the animation window. You need to get each frame on its own layer, then make new frames in the animation window. Set the delay time for each one, about .2 seconds, then toggle the visibility for each frame to make the animation. When it is done (File / Save for web and devices) will make a .gif. Using Virtualdub (quicker) As you already have the .avi file finished, you can also use virtualdub to make the .gif. It is free and a great program for doing video work in. 32 bit version for windows : http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdub/files/virtualdub-experimental/1.1... Download and unzip. Open the folder and launch the VirtualDub.exe file. Drag and drop your avi into it (file open) works too. Go to file / export / animated gif Choose destination, select infinite loop, and whalaa.

So Jorge, How do I get it from your gallery into mine? If I could do that my troubles with it would be over! Thanks, Joe

Joe,
Nice capture :)
Jorge had the right idea using an animated .gif file as they are played right in the browser with no 3rd party software required.

Yes, Jorge, that's the question. I see other animations on web sites that you don't need to download, and I was hoping there was some way I could do that with the comet movie. And I agree, Patrick, it's turning out to be a real looker.
-- Thanks, all, for the friendship and goodies last night. It really was fun and delicious! (I didn't see the sun because I have a fear of looking at it except during total eclipses. I know the filters do their job just great. It's one of those irrational fears.) --- Best wishes to all, Joe

I assumed Joe meant he wanted it to play without a video player (since im guessing hes planning to embed it in his deseret blog for a report on it) but I might be mistaken, but yes, it’s a .avi file, it all depends on what your default player for that kind of file is.

I was able to view it with QuickTime Viewer.
Hi Utah astronomers, here's a movie I made from frames I shot early
yesterday morning, of Comet Garradd moving in front of stars. I guided on the stars, which meant the comet looks steady while the stars are blurred and elongated. -- Comments solicited. I'd especially like to know if it's possible to make this visible without the viewer having a RealPlayer device.
