I liked the two sets together best. Then you can see the concave image on top and the convex image with the bottom pair. You can reverse this situation if you let them superimpose the other direction, by relaxing your focus to infinity so your eye directions are parallel. On 2/28/2013 4:39 AM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
I forgot to mention that sometimes when I use the cross eye method to view the pairs one pair makes the Moon look like a sphere sticking out towards me while the other pair has the Moon looking like a concave dish.
Anyone else seeing that?
Apparently any 3D effect is an illusion as I get the same thing when looking cross eyed at two copies of the same image.

Great demonstration. Thanks. It was a fun experiment to run.
if 210,000 miles... Actually it was 210,000 km. :)
presents such dramatic parallax at 800 km camera locations, then you could regularly get parallax demonstrating photos by contacting out of state friends and arranging to image the moon at the same time. Folks that have been on the list a long time might remember that I did just that a few years ago with list member Rob on Maui.
We coordinated efforts and shot images of the Moon both here and there at the exact time time.
I could have sworn I'd posted the images on the SLAS Gallery but I just checked and saw they were not there. But I did find them on my server. Have a look.

And here with both sets together. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/stereo/uhhu.jpg
Now that it's clouded over, I may just finally get around to posting them to the SLAS Gallery.
Clear skies,
