Pleiades animated

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Hopefully you'll agree that this is my best 3D effort yet, I think I've stumbled upon the most effective workflow, using 3 different luminance mask selections for the key nebulosity structures.

Holy cow. That's amazing!

[jase (Jason)]

Pretty cool. Did you arbitrarily place the stars in different 3d planes or was their a more scientific approach using astrometry information on their distance used?

[troypiggo (Troy)]

You've got a bit of camera wobble there. Try using a tripod next time.

Seriously, that's bloody cool. I was going to ask the same question as Jase above.

[rustigsmed (Russell)]

that is pretty cool Simon especially with the dusty regions.

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Thanks chaps! Alas I don't use astrometry data, just my best approximation, though all the background stars are stripped from the original Pleiades image.

Nicely done Simon, looks very impressive indeed.
