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. Thanks, Joe http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4543
cool video, thanks for sharing! you could post it on YouTube, which would get you around the RealPlayer On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 12:41 AM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

I was surprised at how good the comet looked in the Grim tonight. I had expected maybe just a little fuzz ball but instead there was a well formed coma and a tiny tail. This is one we'll want to keep an eye one. And speaking of nice views, the solar prominences through the DayStar on the Bogdan refractor were superb. I especially liked the little ball of prominence material that just hung above the limb for the hour or so we watched it, seemingly unconnected and floating free. And the detail within that ball: Wow! patrick On 07 Aug 2011, at 00:41, Joe Bauman wrote:

Here's a finder chart through 2012 with a list of suggested magnitude. http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/2009P1/2009P1.html Come late winter early spring it should be around mag 6 or just below say 5.8 or so (estimating). Glad everyone had a good time at SPOC. On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 2:27 AM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:

Imported the frames into photoshop, set the interval for every pic and saved it as an animated picture, you can find webpages that will let you do just that, but they add a watermark or a note to the animated picture, it was my first time poking at it on photoshop, looks good, just like the movie you took, hope the pic I made works for you.

I’ve send you the picture attached in an email, but you can always “right click > save picture” on the one from my gallery
Why don't my emails to through when there is an external link in them? That is rather annoying. David On 8/7/2011 10:07 AM, Jorge Gutierrez wrote:

I have the same problem, sometimes it will not reply to “certain posts” either for some reason.

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.

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!

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.

I used autostakkert for the first few tries because I have good luck with the resolution it gives, but id doesn't do any geometry correction so the moons are stacked out of the shots. I went back to registax 5 because I cant get good results with 6 yet, and was able to get these reprocessed bringing IO back into the picture. 3 frame animation: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4541 It is nuts how fast these gas giants rotate. I also reprocessed the final version of the still here: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4536 Cheers, - David

It is nuts how fast these gas giants rotate.
I also reprocessed the final version of the still here:

Nice, David. I couldn't render my .avi into a .gif movie because I only have Photoshop Elements, not full Photoshop. Rats!

Joe, use the other method I mentioned in an earlier email. You can do it in virtualdub in a matter of seconds. :) - David On 8/7/2011 6:39 PM, Joe Bauman wrote:

Hi Joe, I use Photoshop Elements 3 to make animated GIFs. I start with the FIT files and convert them into JPGs using CCDSoft and then assemble those into animated GIFs with Photoshop Elements. patrick
A very easy way to make .gif files is with virtualdub. It is totally free and is awesome. You download it, launch the .exe file from the folder, then you can add any number of images from a sequence to make a movie, change the frame rate, resolution, compression, anything..then save as an .avi or .gif. It is a lot easier than animating in photoshop. -David On 8/7/2011 8:58 PM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

Well damn Joe, I wanted to see the pic but the SLAS website doesn't know who I am anymore. I went throught the password recovery procedure but haven't seen an email in my IN box yet. Grumble. Kind of a pain to have to sign-in to see pics. I can't recall it having that requirement before. Photobucket rules!
OK it looks like the link Joe posted was bad because I can get in there when using the address in my favorites list. But Joe has removed the pic! Talk about a let down... :- ( On 8/8/11, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Chuck, I've changed the movie to gif file at a different location: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=4553 -- The thumbnail doesn't work, but if you click on the icon, and wait for it to load, and wait longer for it to load, and wait some more -- it'll show up!
