Stereo Images

Partial Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024

Solar Eclipse Stereo Pair. Photographs taken with a 5" refractor and ASI1600MM monochrome camera. The images were captured on April 8, 2024 during a partial solar eclipse visible from Lawrence, KS. The stereo images were created with The Gimp photo editor. The larger image is best viewed from a distance of 3/4 meter to 1 meter. The smaller image is best viewed at a distance of about 1/3 meter. Stare at the images so that they merge together by looking cross-eyed. The Moon and Sun will then pop out in 3D. The third image is designed to be printed off for use in a stereo viewer.

Comet NEOWISE C/2020 F3 July 25, 2020

Comet NEOWISE Stereo Pair. Photographs taken with a ZWO ASI178 CMOS camera and a vintage Olympus 35mm f/2.8 lens mounted on a tripod. The two images were captured on July 25, 2020 and show the motion of the comet with respect to the background stars. The left image was taken at 10:09 PM and the right image was taken at 11:13 PM.

Mars October 26, 2005

Mars Stereo Pair. Photographs taken with an 8" Meade LXD55 SCT and ToUcam Pro in 640x480 mode. The two images were captured on October 26, 2005 and show dust storms that were present at the time. I created a blank image in Paint Shop Pro and pasted the two Mars images in as separate layers so that I could easily adjust their spacing. The larger image is best viewed from a distance of 3/4 meter to 1 meter. The smaller image is best viewed at a distance of about 1/3 meter. Stare at the images so that they merge together by looking cross-eyed. Mars will then pop out in 3D. The third image is designed to be printed off for use in a stereo viewer.

Jupiter June 19, 2005

Jupiter Stereo Pair. Photographs taken with an 8" Meade LXD55 SCT and ToUcam Pro in 640x480 mode. The two images were captured on June 19, 2005. I created a blank image in Paint Shop Pro and pasted the two Jupiter images in as separate layers so that I could easily adjust their spacing. The larger image is best viewed from a distance of 3/4 meter to 1 meter. The smaller image is best viewed at a distance of about 1/3 meter. Stare at the images so that they merge together by looking cross-eyed. Jupiter and its two moons (Io and Ganymede) will then pop out in 3D. The third image is designed to be printed off for use in a stereo viewer.

3D Anaglyphs

3D Anaglyphs made with Anaglyph Maker by Takashi Sekitani. ( https://www.stereoeye.jp). You will need a pair of 3D glasses (the ones with the red and blue filters) to see these images in 3D. These images are designed to be viewed with the red lens over the left eye.
