Here are more PST animations from the Lubrin/Uleila area of southern Spain starting from the 21 February 2012. You have to remember that these sequences have been captured with the most basic of hydrogen alpha telescopes available in the market and for such a low cost instrument I personally am delighted with the results delivered.
