Stereo Image Pair of Veil Nebula

Parallel Vision Version Cross Vision Version
- "True" nature of exploded stae can be seen in stereogram. Material has spred to the Space as a ball shape formation. Viewing instructions can be found on the right hand side menu.

Veil nebula in differen palettes, without stars.

Red=Ha, Blue=OIII with synt. Green Hubble palette, SII=Red, Ha=Green and OIII=Blue Ha alone
-
This is a test image serie.
In my narrowband technique one processing step is a star removal.
When seen without stars, the nebulosity has a better chance to show up.
