Loved it. Well done, and thanks. I especially enjoyed watching the star (planet?) sinking in the west...
WTF's wrong with Satriani ? I Thought it was a decent choice, esp given the length. Nice work tho Marty, kudos.
I had a peek in Stellarium - given how low the horizon is on the video I suspect it's Mercury. Small screenie. http://tinyurl.com/ovxujg
Yup. At first I thought Mercury set too soonafter sunset - so it was Sirius - but Sirius set too far south... and nothing else big set on the ecliptic around then, so Mercury it was. (though t'was a full moon - Mercury might've been a chore to spot... hmmm)
Yes, I consider myself an amateur astronomer and I'd love to get a clear night like that. Just too far for me to travel to though what with work and stuff Where the horizon is here I can't ever see Mercury.
Better than Joe Satriani playing "Day at the Beach"? I disagree, it's been a favourite of mine for many, many years. Thanks for the video Marty, I *was* wondering why you'd abandoned your camera way over there. ;-) BTH
