Aurora animation

Hi all,

I have made a series of photos I took of the aurora from Cumbria on 30th
into a couple of short animations.

http://mysite.freeserve.com/astro2/astro2_image_56.htm

I used a Nikon Coolpix 2100. The individual frames were rather noisy but the
animations have turned out qiute pleasing. Not a patch on the real thing of
course ;-)

Hi Kevin,

sorry that you have had a problem. Thanks for trying. I just checked it with
explorer and it seems to be working OK. (It is an animated gif - very simple
so it should work with any browser). Once you click on the static image in
the link given, you have to wait for the 16 frames in the gif to load before
the animation will run (this is around 700kb and so takes about 3 min over a
dial up) I have a had a lot of hits since I posted so there could be a
bandwidth issue. Probably the best idea is to try again. Anyone else had a
problem?

No, it works fine for me (linux/mozilla)

Nice animation too. Missed it both nights here in the rain-sodden West
Midlands.

Excellent - I was never in with a prayer of seeing anything (((
Possibly the problem is that you put static images on the front page; as
an old hand ! I clicked on the link and went away while it loaded.

On returning I saw the still frames and thought I only had to click to
run, then it started downloading, but my browser told me the images were
loading, and I had quite a wait.

If this is it, perhaps a word of explanation would help that the start
images are just links; the animations are worth the wait, but people
might go away if they think it's broken

Robin,

Thanks for sharing that with us. I for one am eternally grateful as I was
cursed with cloud cover for the duration.

Hi Robin,
2 very nice animations. The weather here never cleared during all the action
so I have to be satisfied with the images kindly posted. Next time....
Cheers,
