The other day I posted an image of Comet Neowise made with ~70 stacked frames taken at 135mm focal length. I took those unprocessed images and made a short GIF movie that shows the comet moving relative to the background stars. I had to highly compress the video to get it down to a reasonable size to post but you can definitely see the comets motion. The movie runs ~650X faster than real time.
Download the image and the GIF movie should run. (Note: it is set to run in a continuous loop).
Below is the post of the stacked imaged

On page 3 is the image with some labeling of other object caught in the short.

Hi twowindsbear
The elapsed time for the video was 79 minutes and 54 seconds. (first image at 10:11 28sec PM last image at 11:31 22sec). A total of 72 shots each ~60 seconds with ~ 6 seconds between each shot.

Instead of using the unprocessed files, I ran them all through a batch process to increase the contrast and save them with slightly better quality (still very compressed compared to the 2 GIG file created from the full images)
Here is the result. You can tell when some high cloud went through by the change in brightness, in general the latter shots get dimmer as the comet got closer to the horizon through the somewhat smoky skies due to fires up near Mount Lassen. All comment, questions and suggestions are welcome.
