IC 443 as an animated stereo pair

In this blog, there is lots of experimental material. To see my actual astroimages, please, see my Portfolio: http://astroanarchy.zenfolio.com/


Animations are made by creating artificial parallax to an image. Then two images are animated together by using conversion web service, Start3D.

There can be some artifacts in images, due the experimental nature of this work! The volumetric models are based on some known facts and an artistic impression.

Please, let the images load for few seconds to see them animated!

Rosette Nebula closeup




Rosette Nebula & a star cluster NGC 2239


Nebula in HST-palette, Red=S-II, Green=H-a and Blue=O-III



Nebula in natural color. Narrowband channels are mixed to match visible spectrum. Red=80% H-alpha+20% S-II, Green=O-III and Blue=80% O-III+20% H-alpha to compensate otherwise missing H-beta.


Last two nights I used for the Rosette nebula, weather gets cloudy after the midnight at both evenings.
I was positively surprised about the image quality since Rosette Nebula doesn't raise very high up here North, the maximum elevation is about 30 degrees, seeing and transparency were both lousy too.

Processing work flow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v5.07.
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.

Telescope, Meade LX200 GPS 12" @ f5
Camera, QHY9
Guiding, SXV-AO @ 9Hz
Image Scale, 0,75 arcseconds/pixel

Exposures
H-alpha 13x1200s, binned 1x1
Note.
Other channels are from a wide field image from 2009:
