Bubble Nebula Zoom in movie.
Klick HERE to see this animation in YouTube, please, klick a HD-symbol in lower Right corner to see it in HD-format.



Heart & Soul Nebulae, zooming to a Soul detail.
Zoomed image is a composition of a wide field image of H&S and a high resolution detail image of a Soul Nebula.
Klick HERE to see this animation in YouTube, please, klick a HD-symbol in lower Right corner to see it in HD-format.

I tested an evaluation version of Sony Vegas video editor to create this effect.
Windows movie maker is a free option to do this, but effects are not parametric, so there is not enough user control for a  good result.

This is a good way to show actual resolution of a picture, there is not much point to publish full resolution version of an image due the huge size.

First the 2D-animation of the Soul Nebula.

An Anaglyph animation test

I made this funny 3D-video from a Veil Nebula. It shows how it might be formed from a Supernova explosion. Movie is very short though.

You'll need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see the movie right.

Note, if you have a Red and Green filters, you can use them! Red goes to Left eye.

A Stereo pair version can be found HERE.
