About this image

A rare 4.8 hours of relatively cloud free skies motivated me to try and do a time lapse of the dimming. This is 4.8 hours in 4 seconds, hope you can see the dimming.

That is a fascinating video, Steve. Great to see what the S30 is capable of.

Thanks Jeremy! I have now taken advantage of the new 10MB limit. Currently trying to do differential aperture photometry in AstroImageJ, I have used it before but its been a while. Is VPhot good? I may have to join the AAVSO.
