Very nice pictures and write-up Cornelius! Your shots of the moon look really polished and well done — very nicely captures the color change over time. Have you considered submitting your animation to a place like the Wikimedia Commons?

Thanks Chromakode
well, I was not even aware about Wikimedia Commons service
I am afraid that the quality of the animation is not enough to be published there, as I view it now on laptop’s LCD, there is a huge amount of noise and dithering in it :/
