Quick question: Were the screenshots done on a Sun? I couldn't find
much on the website itself about the OS...

Very nice. A (ficitonal!) telescope on Mercury would have a nice view g

I like it.

My only suggestion would be that you slow it down a bit. I found it a
little akward to constantly play/pause to compare the location of
Mercury and Mars on different dates

The screenshots of each frame were automatically created by xorsa,
and after composed as an animated GIF using gifsicle
(http://www.lcdf.org/~eddietwo/gifsicle/) or used to create the mpeg
movie with the Berkeley mpeg_encode tool. The whole process on a
i686/Debian/Linux box.
