Some reprocessed anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D images





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

NOTE! This is a personal vision about forms and shapes, based on some known facts and an artistic impression.

Merlotte 15 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!

Note. All stars are removed due the artifacts, the actual nebula can be seen getter now.

Reprocessed Supernova remnants




Since my processing technique gets better and weather doesn't give any support, I have reprocessed couple of older images. There is now star colors added and other processing is tweaked too.


Sh2-223, 224 & 225
This image is a very rare one. Two supernova remnants are visible in a same three degrees field of view.

Image is in HST-palette, (HST=Hubble Space Telescope)
from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.

Total exposure time is about 20h with a world fastest camera optics, Canon EF 200mm f1.8 with full aperture. 
A special processing technique of mine is used to process this extreme dim data:


Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. This composition is very close to a visual spectrum. 
Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.

Simeis 147 aka Sh2-250

My second reprocessed image is a Supernova remnant in constellation Taurus.
Original image of this very dim and large object was selected as an Astronomical Picture Of the Day, APOD, by NASA.

Happy new Year and clear skies to all!

My favorite image from last imaging season of 2010.

This closeup image of NGC 7000 is my opening image of the Autumn season 2010.
