Feature Request A way of simulating the effect of a camera bump on night sky images of flaring Starlinks

[jarlrmai]

I am trying to understand if my understanding of how a camera bump might affect a 30 second image of stars and Starlink flares is correct.

Can anyone think of a way to simulate this?

Perhaps Sitrec can already do it? @Mick West

I'd do it this way:

1. Set up your sitrec with a camera track that has an animated bump
2. Record the sitrec animation into a video
3. Extract the frames and compute the mean frame.

I'd use programming to animate the bump and to compute the mean frame but there may be easier ways.

Not yet, but I could hook something up.
