I've done a couple of #AnimatedGifs of #sunsets before and the conditions seemed right today. The program I used was the #Unix commands #convert and #gifsicle to reduce the image size which produces no #aliasing artefacts that you can get with something like #Gimp. Still, you can see how the #Sun sets at an oblique angle at this #latitude.
