Hi Malcolm,
It would be nice if you could email your GIF file to my address
(zj@bac.pkudot edu.cn), either attach it (using PINE etc.) or 'uuencode'
it to ASCII code. I really want to have a look, and then I may have
some feeling on that and pick out some other images from our own
observation (we are using a 2048*2048 CCD with a 0.6/0.9m Schmidt
which has a 58'*58' FOV in the recent 6 years, and it produced MANY MANY
images while it occassionaly had some interesting stuff on). I will
surely delete your file from disk after I take a look. :)
With my best regards, Jin
