Animated Gif of Mc Naught Comet as seen by SOHOLasco3

[alfredo]

If you have dial up it will take a minute or two to load completely. It is on a continuous loop.
I used Solscape to capture the images and GIFfun to create the movie. Images start at 01/12/07 and end 01/15/07.

1. I believe that is Mercury going by in the background

they were supposed to be very close (apparent) yesterday.

toward the sun in several frames.

12. Animated GIFs are easy to make. You should be able to find

free software for making them. The hardest part was finding the patience to collect images, or remembering to capture the next image.
