I also took a whole bunch of photos. I'll be editing them a bit more and trying to write some script to align the frames better (and maybe even de-rotating?), but for now, here is the set. The animation jumpy because I wasn't taking pictures all the time--some of the time I was indoors watching Starship Exeter. I used a perl script and ImageMagick to animate the photos, using the exif time stamps and speeding up by a factor of 400. Some of the shadows are odd--I've had trouble with shadows of clouds, branches and internal telescope structures. I'll eventually try to clean up the photos and remove the bad ones.
