Nicely caught and a great idea, well done.
Well I counted 9 and if thats correct, it's 9 more than what I seen over 3 nights.

Thks Tony. I had it running last night & got something like another 12.. 1 or 2 quite bright. I guess absence of moon & clear sky helped...

[Rocket Pooch]

cool...

[Mac]

Nice Vid.

[Mike]

Where has it gone?

[doug]

     I can`t see it, either!!!!!

     

[JohnP]

Yep sorry that was me... I only have limited space available (50Mb I think) provided free of charge to me by my ISP as part of my broadband package. When I tried uploading my latest pictures yesterday I kept getting error messages so I decided to try & delete some files to free up space & it worked. Unfortunately, the comet animation image was one of the largest files.... I will try uploading it again today.. maybe it will take it.

I guess I need to look at paying someone to give me more space...

Sorry,  John

I think it scuppered your chances of winning OAS "Movie of the Month"

Mark

[JohnP]

Mark - It was a crap movie anyway.....

Congrats on your image of the month.....

Yep sorry that was me... I only have limited space available (50Mb I think) provided free of charge to me by my ISP as part of my broadband package.

You also have space on the OAS gallery...

[JohnP]

This is true - thks Rick - I can upload to there....

Just looked at ezpz hosting - very reasonable price & seem to offer a good service judging by OAS forum...

John.

[JohnP]

Rick - I have tried uploading files twice. It does upload OK but then when I press continue to add file to albun I get a critical error..... There was an error processing database enquiry....?  Any ideas? Thks,  John

PS - File is animated gif approx 4.5Mb

[Rick]

Hmmm... There's some fallout for a couple of attempts in the file system, 14:08 and 14:26. I seem to remember having trouble with animated gif previews in the past, but Mark managed to upload his NLC animation recently. I'll try to figure out what's happened...

[Rick]

*sigh* The "Critical error" is, apparently, "MySQL server has gone away". Smaller images with less complicated thumbnail requirements work fine, so I guess it's time for another ticket...

[Rick]

Well, I've got a fudge of sorts in place. It doesn't produce an animated thumbnail, but it does seem to allow for the possibility of uploading your animation. Please give it another try sometime.

[Mike]

I've said it before.. I've got a ridiculous amount of space on my server you are welcome to have. I can set you up with a subdomain of amateur-astronomy.org

So far only Duncan has taken me up on the offer (well I also made one for Fay but she never used it).
