IC434 in stereo

[allan gould]

Had a go at re-processing my Horsehead nebula to give a stereo effect.
You need to use the cross-eyed approach to see it. Still takes some fiddling but this has a degree of appeal.
The flame nebula has a good 3D effect in the original.

:eyepop: Man i'm getting a headache hehe
Pref this one to M42

How do u do it ?

[telemarker]

The 3D effect is absolutely brilliant. Could I have some details on how to do these?

Did just a 3D on the flame nebula from this HH photo and it was amazing just how 3D it looks even in a small shot. The longer you stare at it the more the 3D effect with crossed eyes kicks in

Wow nice pics Allan :thumbsup:

I just altered the photo of the flame nebula above as it appears that if the saturation and contrast are increased then you get a far better or clearer 3D effect

Ive added a photo with all the pesky little stars removed to show what this action can do

Yes the effect is pretty effective on the flame, both with and without the stars.

I have to agree I think this one is better than the M42 stereo...

JPM's actions are rather fantastic I though..

I must be missing something. How do you get the stereo effect? Do you use polarised glasses or look cross eyed at the screen?:shrug: If that's the latter I've been at it too and all I'm getting is a headache? :lol: . What's the proper technique?

[AlexN]

go cross eyed far enough so you can see 3 images, hold your vision there and wait for your eyes to focus.. the middle image will be 3D

Got it. It looks cool actually. Various flat planes a bit like these old postcards that had different levels of depth when you change the angle you're viewing them at. Ok I'll go get a panadol now :P
