Finally here it is:

It's not perfect but overall I'm pretty pleased with the brightness transitions I managed to achieve by taking bracketed exposures.

At the time of the impact, my exposures were half a second each at one minute intervals.  So my chance of catching it was only 1 in 120  :(

     Brilliant Mark. I would like to put that on next months report but not sure how to put animations on there... shame.

Excellent Mark!
Almost no flickering and really good images.  Like the music choice too.

Excellent job Mark, puts my attempt in its place. Shame it's upside down! ;)

Only from our perspective Duncan , after all who's to say which way round any celestial bodies are meant to be ?
Yours is very good as well.

Upside down?  It depends on your perspective I suppose.  Look at the full moon in the south with your naked eye.  That's the orientation I use, i.e. North upwards.

Great video Mark, as others have mentioned, smooth without big transitions.
