M8, the "Lagoon nebula", as an animated 3D
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!
Original 2D-image with the technical details:
Other 3D-formats:
NOTE! This is a personal vision about forms and shapes, based on some known facts and an artistic impression.

An experimental M8, the "Lagoon nebula"
M8 in HST-palette, 50% broad band luminance used at top of the NB image, 100% for the Stars.
M8 in natural color narrow band composition, 50% broad band luminance used at top of the NB image, 100% for the Stars.
Original pure narrow band compositions can be found here:
Technical details are behind the link above.
Star colors are not RGB-colors!
They are mixed from O-III and H-alpha stars by using a scientifically "wrong" method as a form of artificial Green channel.
Luminance information, 7x300s, dark calibrated.
