Look at this, its a much smoother animation. You're trying to determine the movement of a wobbling storm with 30 minutes per frame.



The times on those frames is 30 minutes apart too?

the problem with this sat is it's not stationary... it's moving forward
hence the direction is more difficult to establish... Much easier to
recognize the direction if we observe from a fixed position...
