A while back, I posted sequences from Mariner 6 and 7. I wasn't fond of them as a movie at the time, but they have grown on me - they have a turn-of-the century nickelodeon look to them.

Mariner 7

NAC

WAC

The reason for the lack of rotation in the WAC approach sequence is the fact that it only spans about 35 minutes, while the NAC sequence spans more than three days.

Ted,
Very cool! Have you considered registering the images so they stay centered in the animation?

Yes, I am working on it, but I am about to go on vacation, so it could be a while. If anyone wants to take a crack at it, be my guest! (I cleaned these images, but registering them has proven a big pain.)
