Nice detective work.  Agree that's why this stuff is so fun.  Early this year I imaged M82 a week after a supernova was discovered there even though I didn't know about it at the time.  Serendipity at its best.  Still, someday hoping one of my images turns up my own SN discovery.

We watch and wait.

Best,

Jim
Really, are clear skies, low wind and no moon that much to ask for?

Thank you. I would be really chuffed to discover anything, however the great thing is, us amateurs can discover stuff.

Regards

Thats what I love about astronomy. You never know whats up there.

Out of interest how did you make the movie? Flickr will not allow me to publish my particular format of movie.

Thanks

Julian

i probably used mencoder to make an .avi; i can't remember if flickr supports that format, but if not, i may have then used Handbrake to convert the .avi to a .mp4 file.
