That's interesting Robert you did the animation around the other way i.e. kept comet still & stars move.. was that intentional... also, can you get gif to auto loop?

Looks good though - John

Yes John, it turned out as I intended and I took the concious decision not to loop it but will redo with a loop now I've had a complaint ;) I tried to use the new version of Registax for the animation, though it works well it doesn't do gifs and also there's no way of putting a delay between frames. In the end I used PS, talk about palava... at least I can do it now so it'll be easier next time. Will post another with the stars still as well if I get time.

I did mine in PS - I thought it was fairly painless... When you imaged did you guide on comet or stars...?
