Joe, since Chris was talking about the crossed-eye method, and commented on my stereo pairs, I assumed he used the same orientation that I did. I have a very old WWII era stereo viewer, I used to do work for an aerial survey company when I was young, and we used stereo pairs quite often. For printed pairs, the reversed orientation from what I use is great and was the accepted normal orientation for using an optical viewer. But for pairs on a video screen, the crossed-eye method is so instant and easy that I prefer it. It's too awkward trying to hold the stereo viewer up to a screen. And it takes too long for me for the "stare through the image" method to kick-in. Thanks, C. On 5/14/15, Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
Chuck, your images are "anti-stereo" to my way of seeing stereo. But then I look through them and do not cross my eyes. I would bet that is you put your photos in a stereo viewer they would look wrong to you. Chris' method definitely is not a mistake; it's just another way to present stereo images. I suspect it's the more commonly used one. If you can look through the images and not cross your eyes they would look right.
