Astro photographing in Finland

This it is...
Lots of snow and clouds in winter 2010.

I bet, if I'll start to shoot snow and clouds, we dont see them anymore.

3D-models from 2D-astro images, more testing

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

Links to the original images are with animated models, there is links to other 3D-formats as well.
Animations are made by creating artificial parallax to an image. Then two images are animated together by using a very clever webservice. 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!

This has been a very poor winter for astro imaging, playing with old data is one way to try avoid frustration.
We have just two and half months imaging season left up here in 65N. After that no astronomical darkness here until late in the next Autumn : (
