You forgot to reset your tracking to NLC rate. What's the time span on
that? If the clouds rolled by at that speed we'd all fall over.

First image was taken at 22h24m00s UT and the last at 22h28m20s UT.
There are 14 frames and the tracking was sidereal. I believe I set the
interframe rate at 0.1s so you are seeing 4m20s worth of motion in
1.4s - i.e. 186x faster than reality.
