Default ASTRO: Animation of Crab using Chandra Xray, Radio, Optical and emission line images

There is a neat image of the Crab made using Radio=Red, Optical = Green

and
XRAY = Blue he

Richard, et al:

That image pretty much knocked my socks off when it was first released!


I took the image, rotated it and stretched it to overlay my recently
reported crab shot.........


That's *really* cool!

Warning: this was my first animation. I used Adobe Image Ready. For some
reason it makes the image sort of grainy. Maybe I can figure out how to

fix
it. If anyone has some suggestions for addressing the graininess or has
other ideas
of how to do the morphing/animation, please tell me!


I think that the graininess comes from the result being a GIF file. Can
your software produce AVI or MPG? I would bet that either of these would
work better.
