Sh2-240, Stereo pairs
Objects in the space are three dimensionals, but doe the huge distance we see them
flat, without 3D appearance.
To reveal "true" nature of this object I made 3D-stereo image pair from it.
This supernova remant now looks like an expanding sphere in the deep space.
Parrallel vision image pair
Cross vision image pair
PARALLEL VISION ISTRUCTIONS:
In parallel freeviewing the image for the left eye is on the left and the image for the right eye is on the right. You stare into the screen so that your eyes are aimed (more or less) parallel. As you stare into the screen you will get double vision as each eye sees the L & R images separately. When you are staring in at the right distance the middle two images will overlap and become 3d. The outer two images will remain and will still be 2d.
CROSS VISION INSTRUCTIONS:
In cross eye freeviewing the image for the left eye is on the right and the image for the right eye is on the left. You stare at a point about 1/2 way to the screen so that your eye's gaze is crossing at the half way point. Thus the left eye sees the correct image which is on the right. As you cross your eyes the image will go double. When your eyes are crossed the correct amount the middle images will overlap and be in 3d. The two outer images will remain and will be in 2d.

M13, second tryout
Gropped area from M13. The extended exposuretime reveals more and more dim stars around
the core.
After I was shooting Sh2-240, I moved to M13.
This is a second tryout at this season.
Weather was ok to shoot with 200mm lens, but with2000mm situation was different.
Very bad seeing and since I shoot from very center of the city, there was lots of heat current from buildings.
M13 altitude was between 30 and 45degrees. Moust of the frames are shooted trough not so thin clouds.
This time I composed image so, that I was able to placea litle galaxy, NGC 6207, at the same field of view.
There is 5 x 10min and 11 x 5min, unfiltered subs used in the image.I allso add lights from previous tryout, 7 x 15min, IDA filter. Total exp. time is three and half hours.Camera: QHY8, telescope: LX200 GPS 12", Guiding: SXV-AO+LodeStar.
Image is scaled down
Ps.
The "Shadows and Highlights" tool under Photoshop is great for targets like this!
I can pull out dimmer stars as much as I like without blowing up the core.

Sh2-240, four more hours.
This is a false color image of the Sh2-240.
Image of the object with no stars was added as lighten mode to the Red channel,
under PS.
h-alpha image.
Inverted version
This is a version with no stars (image processing trick)
to bring out the structure better. This image was used to make a false color image.
This is really difficult target!
I can see effects of light pollution here, even with 7nm H-a
filter. Bad gradients etc...
This time I shooted 4 X 3600s = One hour subs!
My record so far. Longer subs are needed to bring out very
faint structure of this object.
So far there is about 7h exposures, I thin an other 10 hous is needed here.
I'll shoot more when weather allows.
