While putting together today's issue of News I found myself looking through the latest raw image pairs from the Mars rovers. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/ It occurred to me that I'd heard here some time ago that such pairs could be made into stereo images. After a bit of digging I found this site that describes how to do it with Photoshop (I also got it to work with Photoshop Elements although many of the functions are not where they are in Photoshop). http://dogfeathers.com/3d/3dhowto.html Now I'm wondering if it might be possible to shoot a stereo pair of the Moon. I'm guessing all we'd need would be someone here in Utah to shoot a picture of the Moon while at the same moment someone far away like Hawaii (hey Rob, I'm talking about you) shot the Moon. Images are then exchanged via email. Shall we? Patrick
Patrick, I made really startling "3D" images of one of the great comets, I think it was Hale Bopp. They were not actually 3D, but the comet moved against the background stars between exposures, so when you paired two images, it looked just like the comet was floating in space in front of the background stars. It was a beautiful illusion. Best wishes, Joe
