Excellent explanation Kevin of this once in a lifetime event. I'm so happy you managed to get those images.
The animation is just perfect. I haven't used blender in years. Works very well from this example.
I'll share this to my followers. I'm sure some of them will be interested. @astrophoto.kevin
Thank you very much for your warm words and the resteem @molometer
I have to deal even more with this "blender adventure". It is very complex and demanding.
Blender was never the easiest program to work with but it can do incredible things once you master it.
Looks like you have a good understanding of it's potential already. 😊
The potential of Blender is enormous. I think I will take a lot of time until I could master so that something usable will be put out in the end. :-D
I now have 3 weeks holiday and think that I will go through the whole tutorial series of blenderguru.
That's a good idea as you can practice as you learn and you could even output your efforts as blogs if you felt so inclined which may help other people to see how to use blender.
That's a good idea, but first I need some skills. And I think this will take some time. Some long time. :-D
Time is the most precious thing we have. Good to use it very wisely. :)
You are so right :-)
