This appears in proper (but not good) stereo when seen with the relaxed eyes method, not the crossed eyes method. It's not good stereo because it's exaggerated, making Pluto's shape look like a watermelon and not the cantaloup shape it really has.

No need to make any adjustments. Does Windows make that not work? patrick On 23 Jul 2015, at 13:59, Ed <utnatsedj1@xmission.com> wrote:
For those who prefer the cross-eyed method of viewing, here's how on your computer running Windows 7 or above.
Use the Windows Snipping tool to outline (snip) the right-hand image of the pair displayed by NASA. Do not include any white area in your outline.
Place the resulting snipped image window to the left of the left-hand image of the NASA pair.
Line up the snipped image vertically just as the NASA images are aligned with each other.
Narrow the snipped image window so Pluto is closer to the right boundary of the window, but without clipping off any of Pluto's image.
Slide the snipped image window as close to the left side of the NASA pair as possible without overlapping any of the left-hand NASA image.
Cross your eyes and concentrate on the two images on the left out of the three that are now showing on the screen. Ignore the image on the far right of the NASA pair.
Enjoy

Quoting Wiggins Patrick <paw@digis.net>:
We're going to try to spot Pluto with the Grim at Saturday's star party. Somehow I don't think it will look this good. :)
