Oh my Goddess, it actually works! I've tried this cross eyed stuff many times before and it's never worked. And, alas, I was not able to get it to work with the comet shots. But then I tried the Moon and it jumped right out at me. Same for the nebulae shots. Wild! I can't say that it was comfortable (my left eye feels like I pulled a muscle) but it was still a fun experiment. patrick On 16 Apr 2009, at 11:53, Jim Gibson wrote:

English is not his first language, but I have no complaints there as he is perfectly understandable. He says: Unlike many Deep sky objects, the Moon can be seen with enough parallax to form a real stereo pair. There is two ways to do it. First you take two pictures from other sides of earth at the same time and there will be some minor parallax. Secondly the libration of the Moon can be used for that, you just have to wait a longish time to have a same phase of the Moon but with differen libration amount.
