Chuck, The stars are not showing in the background. Oh well. You have to see this one on your big screen; The giant squid better known as the California Nebula. http://hwilson.zenfolio.com/p90112200/h16625a6f#h16625a6f Bright stars in front then nebula then background stars; sweet! For anyone that can't quite get their eyes crossed just right I found a technique that helps me. Hold your index finger up about 6 - 8 inches in front of your face between you and the image on the screen. The screen should be about 2 feet away or a little more. Focus on your index finger with the image right behind. Right above your finger you will see a 3rd image appear between the 2 images. Now if you can get your finger away and still keep your eyes crossed you will see the 3D image. Cool stuff. I can hardly wait to show my grandkids.

I need to look at these at home on my big monitor later. If the stars are behind the comet, it's correct. If the stars appear to be in front of the comet, you need to change the images left-for-right. Using crossed eyes generally means the reverse orientation as that used with a stereoscope. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
