Jupiter in stereo with the C8

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Again some data from March 16: a pair of images taken 12 minutes apart, yielding a stereo pair (if you squint in the right way).

Hopefully tonight is going to be clear, and I can get some new data

Very good.  Would love to get some clear weather.

Shows what a C8 can do. is all I am getting here.

Very good Michael. The stereo image holds very well and does appear to enhance the detail.

Another plus for binoviewing!. For some reason, the merged 3D image looks smaller than the pair.

I think the effect you describe (which I also notice) stems from the fact that the stereo image to me seems to stand out from the image plane. In that case t he brain might interpret it as smaller, because the same angular size is seen for an objects that appears nearer. It therefore should be smaller (bit like the moon overhead vs the moon near the horizon)

The stereo effect is very good, easier for me if I make the webpage alot smaller to reduce the size of the image. Thanks for the upload.

Took me a while to go just the right amount of cross eyed, but it works very well when you manage it! Nice one!
