Excellent idea... Thanks, Dave! I'll try this out.

Yes, actually, this is the way I am currently doing it, but
am disappointed with the results. :-(

Yes, I was hoping that motion blur would be the
answer... maybe it is but I've got to change things to make it look
better. Now it is really a bunch of mush.
