Here is an animated GIF I put together during the snow storm that
hit the NE of the USA on Feb 16 - Feb 17 2003
Details:
Vesta Pro 690k set on tripod looking out my den window at Greenbox Observatory.
Astrovideo script set up to capture one frame every 15 minutes for 28 hours.
I tweaked exposure/gain/brightness during the sequence to try and maintain
consistent exposures.
FITS2BMP used for conversion to BMP.
IRFANVIEW used to crop and convert to GIF.
One frame every 2 hours were then selected and finished up with a 1 hour
interval for the last frame.
These were then combined into the animated GIF using UNFREEZ.
Note how bright it is even thru the middle of the night!
This was taken with an un-modifed webcam.
