frames.

That *looks* like the genuine article -- cloud features -- to me.

Also I though this might be interesting to some people too.

Excellent! A great tutorial and advertisement for Astro IIDC. For those who

might not know, the software used to simulate motion by panning across

a still image (the Moon in this instance) could have been "Photo to Movie."

The technique of panning across still photos has been dubbed the

"Ken Burns effect." Burns didn't invent the technique, but he certainly

polished it up when making full-length movies (The Civil War, e.g.) from

still photos.
