NGC 1365, 3D-transformation test
An experiment with the NGC 1365, the "Great Barred Spiral Galaxy". All the stars from our milky way are removed and the original 2D-galaxy image is the projected to a 3D-surface. The resulting 3D-model is then animated to a movie file. The purpose is to show the actual shape of the galaxy, now distorted by a perspective.

NGC 1365, the "Great Barred Spiral Galaxy"
NGC 1365, the "Great Barred Spiral Galaxy" locates in constellation Fornax about 61 million light years away. This is an enormous galaxy, 200.000 light years across, one of the larges galaxies known by astronomers.
Technical details:
16" RCOS ja Apogee U9000 camera.
LRGB combo. An Australian remote telescope
10x600s for the Luminance and 6x600s / RGB-channel . Dark, Bias and Flat calibrated.
Raw data is shared by Petri Kehusmaa and J-P Metsavainio
Processing workflow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v4.xxx
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.

Animated 3D from two targets, the "Tarantula" & the "Wizard"
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!
