    Finally a clear enough evening to capture the astras going into and coming 
    out of eclipse.
    
    This 2 mb video ( over 300 frames) is available at ....

    Not only does it show the birds going into and coming out of eclipse , but 
    it also shows the movement of the fleet during a two and a half hour period 
    and the varying brightness of the individual satellites.......seven in all.
    
    When the video starts to play in win media player I would suggest slow speed 
    is selected from the "play" menu.
