Ah, yes... The moon animation looks familiar enough. That was quite a
while ago, 1998 and Guide 6. I've quit the animation business since
and can't remember which program I used, but any graphics program
worth the name should be able to do GIF-animations I guess. What I do
remember is that it was a real pain grabbing some 30 screen worth of
moon images :-)
I was very happy with the moon animation because it not only showed
the phases but also libration and the changing distance from the
Helsinki-centric observer.
The funny thing is that my old site still is online, even though my
account has expired. There's a smaller version of the moon animation
which can be used as decoration on web pages.
