NGC253, 3D transform test



Galaxy NGC 253 2D/3D transformation.




This is a small experiment to show the internal spiral structure of "Silver Dollar" galaxy better. This is simply done by stretching the galaxy image under the PhotoShop. Resulting frames are then animated to a movie file.

Original image of NGC 253 and technical details can be seen here:

NGC 253, the "Silver Dollar" galaxy




A spiral galaxy in constellation Sculptor.

This galaxy is undergoing a period of intense star formation. Areas with a Blueish hue, are most active regions of the star formation. This is a nearby galaxy, distance is "only"  about 11 million light years.
Largish target, apparent dimensions are, 27,5' x 6,8'. Longer axis is almost as wide as a full Moon (30')


A closeup to show the actual resolution. Note. there is hundreds of dim background galaxies in the image.



Technical details:

16" RCOS ja Apogee U9000 camera. 
LRGB combo. An Australian remote telescope
14x600s for the Luminance and 2x600s / 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.
