Could someone check the link and see if the animation runs? I've heard from someone who can not get it to run. Thanks, patrick On 15 Feb 2013, at 20:23, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

Hi,

Here's my first set of images of 2012 DA14 during its pass this evening.  I thought they might be of interest to you and your viewers.

19 still images strung together into an animated GIF file.

Better ones should be coming in the next hour or so.  Let me know if you'd like to see those and I'll email you the URLs as I post them.

Not nearly as impressive as this morning's event in Russia but still neat to see something so big come so close.

Thanks to all who replied. It appears it's an OS problem with Windows having problems opening animated GIFs. So it is working for folks with iOS but not so well with Windows. I'm told there is software to make Windows run animated GIFs but I think I'm going to try to find a way to make animations with iOS that is cross platform. patrick 718 On 15 Feb 2013, at 21:27, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
