To the trained eye it's readily apparent that the starfield, shield glare, and lens flares differ between the strip and the thumbnail above. This difference is easily explained. The Serial Peacemaker is random-walking, after all. In the course of these maneuvers, which take place at hundreds of gees of acceleration, the ship's apparent orientation with regard to background stars is bound to change. The fact that the camera maintained a constant orientation with the ship, AND caught two very similar weapon strikes against the shielding is nothing short of a miracle. That cameraman is NOT paid enough (hint, hint).
