NGC 4945




NGC 4945 in Centaurus 
Beautiful and relatively large edge-on spiral galaxy.
Distance from Earth, about 12 million light years.

My second light for the Northern Galactic groups members telescope under the Australian dark skies.
This galaxy is not imaged too commonly, due the proximity of famous targets, Centaurus A and M86.

Ones again, this is a preview image, since I don't have yet all the calibration files.

Details:
Camera, Apogee U9000
Exposures, 24x300s for the Luminance and 4x300s for each RGB channel.
Darks, NO Flats.

One more anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D Moon







You'll need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see this movie right.
Note, if you have a Red and Green filters, you can use them! Red goes to Left eye.

Please, click movie twice to see in in YouTube



Full Moon

Animation is made by re projecting the 2D-Moon image to a 3D-sphere.
The resulting 3D-model is then animated to a two movies with some parallax difference for Stereo effect.
The Moon is now seen about 90 degrees side from what we normally are seeing from the Earth.

Original 2D-full moon image, used for this animation, can be found here:
