You used a normal web-cam my friend? I mean can you do this on a normal digital camera? or can they only be used for stop-motion effects? Good video btw.

Hi,

Yes a normal web cam. Mainly because I could make a movie at 1 frame per second (3/4 of which were thrown out to speed it up). If you have a digital camera that can take a picture every 4 seconds then it'd be ideal for this sort of thing as you could play back at 25FPS and get a 100x speedup. Otherwise you can shoot at any framerate and speed it up with VirtualDub but a long video could create a huge file.

Wonderful job on the video, many people don't realise that the Sun is more than 1.38 million times the size of the Earth.

God bless

To be honest, neither did I. I do know it's 93 million miles away though.

@RJL738 I do know that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas. A gigantic nuclear furnace. Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees. ;)
