13/04/2020 1:45 13/04/2020 1:45 PM 13/04/2020 11:45 AM A first look at PyMovie Martin Unwin I was motivated to install PyMovie in August 2019 after failing to obtain a satisfactory Tangra light curve from an video record severely affected by wind shake. This talk describes my first impressions of PyMovie, which - in this instance - was able to extract a usable light curve for the relevant time interval.
