[APML] Compensating the Rotating Earth

[Helmut Dersch <der@fh-furtwangen.de>]

In principle, star trail images taken with static 
cameras contain the same information as images from
cameras moving synchronized with the rotation of the
earth, however in a convoluted manner. This is an attempt
to deconvolute these images, i.e. simulate a rotating
camera in software:

This projekt is an unusual application of our free
VR-software "Panorama Tools" which is really meant
to be used for panorama assembly and 3D-object creation.
