Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Eros Light Curve Data Captured


Hi Mark;


I ran it off late saturday night, but it's still on the laptop and I haven't uploaded it yet. It was a cropped .mp4 so it should play fine on Windows / Mac / Linux and only 275 kilobytes.


All the movie shows is the movement of the asteroid at an accelerated rate of time, where each each second of playing time in the movie is 30 minutes of real time.


After looking at it, I'm really surprised my light curves are as accurate as they are, especially towards the end when the turbulence started getting bad and jumping around +/- 8 arc seconds.


One thing I am thinking about adding to the Differential Photometric function is the ability to generate a cropped movie of the source, showing the aperture rings, the constant / variable objects, likely the magnitude +/- pixel sum values and the JDN & UTC time for each frame. Likely I'll add a black strip to the right side or bottom side of the movie and write out any date / time stuff there to avoid covering up something in the movie.


TTYL..

I, for one am looking forward to seeing the movie as well if possible! I`m still not able to view Alberto`s latest movies without an Intel Mac I understand...
