  • Each exposure was 2 seconds and it crossed the 7 arcminute field of view in a little less than 1 minute. So it was moving quite quickly!

  • Nice observation -- I like it. How fast was the apparent motion across this view? I don't have a sense of how much the time lapse sped things up.

  • HEY! No earthquakes, no Extinction Level Event, no sun blackouts, no alien hitchhikers, what went right??
