B. SD's variable star "BLINKER": 
Load one image.
Edit the address by hand to get the second image. 
Blink back and forth between the two images.

Example: Get the variable star Z CET image for 1996/08/06 via

http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/stardial/archive/jpg/1996/08/06/08060100.jpg

change 08/06/08060100 to 09/24/09240100 load that one.
Use the mouse buttons or the forward/backward controls [in the upper left corner of the window]
to blink back & forth from Z CET on 08/06 to Z CET on 09/24.


C. Animated SD Variables:
[Click on star name, for example click "Mira" etc.]
