I think the astronaut was ‘moonwalking’ ala Michael Jackson

Yes walking backwards ala Michael Jackson and jumping was planned. Perhaps I should make one that walks the other way.

How did you turn him around?

I understand, so you wanted to have him always on the top half, also understand the moonwalking dance move, just the sequence is more hopping than walking, so I tried to change the direction.
I did not turn him, since I did not have original image, just made him run double second hand speed the other direction with expressions like
X: (128*sin(2*#DWFSS#*2*3.14/360)+160)
Y: (128*cos(2*#DWFSS#*2*3.14/360)+160)
rotation: (180-2*#DWFSS#)

Ah. That’s not my original art so I could only find an astronaut bouncing walking which is what they tend to do on the moon given the stiffness of their suits. So I am limited to the source and thus can’t really simulate true moon walking or anywhere close to dragging his feet and without the bounce. But it’s just entertainment.
Thanks for the notes.

Plus I think most people don’t look at their watch for more than 5 secs. I think it would be really unusually for someone to look at the face for a minute…unless they are trying to measure something. So I just left it as a short routine and easier to look at him standing right side up versus upside down and without a moon surface.

Do not worry much about what I wrote, you did nothing wrong. The face looks and works well. Those were just my thoughts about what else could be done with it…

Didn’t take any of your comments negatively. Always appreciate comments from those who make suggestions. I might make a change now or take that info and use it later. Much thanks.

There is no woo-doo, just regular description for circular path containing always the same: radius, sine and cosine of the variable and placement of the origin (pivot point).

Does anyone have any examples of watches displaying stock market info? I tried searching and there isn’t much.
Looking for overall market up down for a particular exchange. Like NYSE up 1% currently. So current change from opening position.
Can this be done? Might need some programming if no tag or API is currently available.

How about a moon phase version with a twist?

I have one in the wings where the moon is of the button variety, with another 80s transit I have used before:

Neat. I like the reference to ET.

Of course the text based phase mask I use works with a stretched to circular Mimas image, or any other circle:
You’ll need a suitable NerdFont
Very neat. Your mimas has a lot more detail then mine.

It is a NASA composite over rotation to get full lighting.
Neat. What do you think of my death star? I wanted it as dark as possible but need to have some lights popping out but can’t make it too dark.

I turned on the inspection mode so that the shadow (real death star) can be rotated into view.
