Also nice. FWIW, the droid should be moving from the lower right to upper left.
It was moving in that direction in the apparent view as you saw it. Stylistically, the best presentation for public distribution of amateur astronomical images is to flip them to a common reference orientiation where celestial north is at the top of the screen and celestial east is to the right. In that reference orientation, the droid runs from the lower left to the upper right - from eta Per towards beta UMa - where it will be in a few hours. I took the artistic liberty of flipping the image to that reference orientiation. See the "N is up" and "East is right" marker in the title frame at the end of the condensed animation. - Kurt ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
