hi all,
here is a wonderful movie of 20 shots of a full moon, showing the wobble and
movement of the moon over the 20 lunar months enjoy.

Good going Carl, it shows the libration quite well! One constructive comment, if I may... if you took the extra bit of time to resize the shots/discs so hat they are all the same, I think it would be more impressive!

Seanie,

I think this may be intentional. The angular size of the moon does change quite a bit between apogee and perigee.
