North America Nebula, a zoom in animation
I have shot many targets with a several focal lengths and instruments.
Due to that, I'm able to publish some of my photos as an image set, with a different field of view and detail levels. The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely by this way and it will make the orientation more easy.

How the 3D-models are done?
Due to enormous distances of cosmic objects, no real parallax can be imaged to get a 3D-information. I have developed a method to turn my images to a 3D-models.
Here is a short and simplified explanation, how 3D images are done:
My 3D-experiments are a mixture of scientific data, deduction and an artistic impression.
I collect distance and other useful scientific information before I do my 3d-conversion.
Usually there are known stars, coursing the ionization, so I can place them at right relative distance. If I know a distance to the nebula, I can finetune distances of the stars so, that right amount of stars are front and behind of the object. I use a "rule of thumb" method for stars, brighter is
closer, but if a real distance is know, I try to use it.
Many shapes can be figured out just by looking carefully the structures in nebula. Like dark nebulae must be at front of the emission ones to show. The general structure of many star forming regions are very same. There is a group of newly born stars, as an open cluster inside of the nebula. The stellar wind from the stars is then blowing the gas away around the cluster and forming a kind of gavitation, a hole, around it. The pillar like formations in the nebula must point to a source of stellar wind, for the same reason.
Since nebulae are practically transparent and the gas itself is emitting light, the thickness of the gas can be estimated by its brightness. Emission of ionized Oxygen, O-III, needs lots of energy. For that reason, Oxygen emission seen in the photo must be at close proximity of the ionizing star(s).
The processing workflow itself is kind of sculpting and the result is always an approximate reality.
I turned the original 2D-image to 3D by using a surface modeling software.
Image is first divided to layers by its content in a image processing software. Each layer is then projected to a 3D-surface. To build the 3D-surfaces and to have a good and realistic forms, I'm using a software, that converts the shades in the image to a 3D-form. I have semi automated the whole process, so it doesn't take too much time to make a 3D-conversion.
The nice thing about the final 3D-model is, that only image elements from the original 2D-image are used!

HOW IT'S DONE
For as long as I have captured images of celestial objects, I have always seen
them three-dimensionally in my head. Over time I realized that we actually have
enough scientific information to build a coarse skeleton model of the nebula itself.
The scientific information makes my visions much more accurate, and the 3-D technique I have developed enables me to share those beautiful visions with others.
How accurate my 3-D-visions are depends on how much accurate information I have and how well I implement it. Also, many different estimates are
needed for the 3-D model. The final 3-D-image is always an appraised simulation
of reality based on known scientific facts, deduction, and some artistic creativity
on top of everything else
After I have collected all the necessary scientific information about my target,
I start my 3-D conversion using the stars in the image. Usually there is a recognizable star cluster which is responsible for ionizing the nebula. We don’t need to
know its absolute location since we know its relative location. Stars ionizing the
nebula have to be very close to the nebula structure itself. I usually divide up the
rest of the stars by their apparent brightness, which can then be used as an indicator of their distances, brighter being closer. If true star distances are available
I use them, but most of the time my rule of thumb is sufficient.
By using a scientific estimate of the distance of the Milky Way object, I can
then locate the correct number of stars in front of it and behind it.
Emission nebulae are not lit up directly by starlight; they are usually way too
large for that. Rather, stellar radiation ionizes elements within the gas cloud. So it
is the nebula itself that is glowing, at the characteristic wavelengths of each ionized element. (The principle is very much the same as in fluorescent tubes.) I use
this information for my 3-D model. The thickness of the nebula can be estimated
from its brightness, since the whole volume of gas is glowing, brighter means
thicker. By this means, forms of the nebula can be turned to a real 3-D shape.
Nebulae are also more or less transparent, so we can see both sides of it at the
same time, and this makes model-making a little easier since not much is hidden.
The local stellar wind, from the star cluster inside the nebula, shapes the
nebula by blowing away the gas around the star cluster. The stellar wind usually
forms a kind of cavity in the nebulosity. The same stellar wind also initiates the
further collapse of the gas cloud and the birth of the second generation of stars
in the nebula. The collapsing gas can resist the stellar wind and produces pillarlike formations which must point to a cluster.
Ionized oxygen (O-III) glows with a bluish light, and since oxygen needs a lot
of energy to ionize it, this can only be achieved relatively close to the star cluster
in the nebula. I use this information to position the O-III area (the bluish glow) at
the correct distance relative to the heart of the nebula.
Many other small indicators can be found by carefully studying the image
itself. For example, if there is a dark nebula in the image, it must be located in
front of the emission nebula, otherwise we can’t see it.
Using the known data in this way I build a kind of skeleton model of the
nebula. Then the artistic part is mixed with the scientific and logical elements,
and after that the rest is very much like creating a sculpture on a cosmic scale

This generally adds a new dimension to my hobby as an astronomical imager.

Melotte 15 as an experimental 3D-study
I have done several 3D-studies out of my astronomical images. Models are based on some known scientific facts and an artistic impression. This is an approximation to the real structure of the nebula, an educated guess, it gives a feel to the object and an idea, what it must really be like.
There are several 3D-modes to see from the same material. Animated 3D, free view stereo pairs and an anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D.
