Rob on Maui and me here in Utah got some shots of the Moon tonight. Both of us were using C-5s operating at 1,250mm f/10. He has one of those pesky j-o-bs to go to in the morning so he wasn't able to stay up long enough to process and send me his first rate stuff (hopefully he'll be able to do that later today) but he did send one of his test images earlier in the night. When I put one of my shots next to his test shot I think I'm seeing stereo. But maybe not. Here's the image: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/stereo01.jpg Anyone else seeing any signs of stereo? Mine (on the left) was taken at 0900 UTC while his test shot was taken about 0630. The ones he's sending later today were taken at the same time as mine. Thanks, patrick
It's hard to tell with these but I think I detected a stereo effect. I cut apart the images and placed Patrick's on the right and that seemed to work better. -- Joe --- On Thu, 9/23/10, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:

With the moon being 240,000 miles away and Maui only about 5,000 from Utah, this makes the angular view about .02 degrees. This is not enough to expect to see stereo effect.

Stereo just means "Two". In music, stereo is having two different audio channels recorded apart from one another. With our ears, having stereo hearing lets you identify the direction a sound is coming from. If you only had one working ear, this wouldn't work. With vision, having two eyes makes depth perception as each eye is a bit offset from the other. When the brain combines the two, the differences are perceived as distance. You can easily make the same effect with a photo, you take one picture, move the camera horizontally a few inches, then take another. When you lay them next to each other, and then cross your eyes so they each combine in the center, it reproduces stereo vision and creates the depth effect our eyes do. If you have a digital camera and photoshop, its really easy to make the anaglyph images that require the color glasses. Here is a neat tutorial on that : http://www.scec.org/geowall/makeanaglyph.html Whats going on here is you are using the glasses to assign one image to one eye, even though they are over layed on each other. The image you shot for your right eye is set to Red, and the image you shot for the left eye is set to Blue. The glasses are then set the same way so your right eye only sees the red image, and your left eye only sees the blue image. This is the same thing as crossing your eyes so the two images overlap, but it saves you the crossing the eyes part. This can be reproduced artificially with astrohpotgraphy. An astrophoto is duplicated, then you can manipulate one photo to create an offset where you think it should be in the other photo. It's totally artificial, but does create a 3d depth effect. The only true way to get the effect with stereo vision or photography was mentioned before, you need angular separation of the two images up to a certain amount. This is why you cant really make a stereo photo of deep space objects, they are just to far away. You would need to send two spacecraft out from earth in opposite directions equipped with the same cameras, and have them take shots of the same object ect to get it to work. They actually have done this with the sun. They have two different satellites out in orbit that image the sun from wide enough apart to give a stereo view of it. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/news/stereo3D_press.html Cheers, David On 9/23/2010 12:34 PM, Julie Clyde wrote:

Julie, Humans are capable of seeing in stereo because our eyes are separated about 3 1/2 to 4 inches apart. Our brain interprets the difference between the two images in our eyes caused by the parallax in viewing near objects from slightly different angles, thus we see in stereo. If we want to simulate stereo (depth perception) of different objects that are distant, we can take two photos of the same target taken with cameras that are widely spaced apart. Then if we look at one of the images with our left eye and the other with our right eye, our brain does the same interpretation and we can see depth perception of distant objects because it is as if our eyes were widely spaced apart. In this experiment, Patrick and Rob each took a photo of the moon, one in Utah the other in Hawaii (about 5,000 miles separation). The moon is about 240,000 miles away and so the separation of the images is only about 0.02 degree which is not enough to see much stereo particularly given the fact that from the center of the moon to its edge is only about 1,000 miles difference in distance.

It is also a very good idea to look at an object by alternating between your right and left eye to see better detail at the eyepiece.

Rob on Maui and me here in Utah got some shots of the Moon tonight. Both of us were using C-5s operating at 1,250mm f/10.
He has one of those pesky j-o-bs to go to in the morning so he wasn't able to stay up long enough to process and send me his first rate stuff (hopefully he'll be able to do that later today) but he did send one of his test images earlier in the night.
When I put one of my shots next to his test shot I think I'm seeing stereo. But maybe not.
Here's the image: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/stereo01.jpg
Anyone else seeing any signs of stereo?
Mine (on the left) was taken at 0900 UTC while his test shot was taken about 0630.
The ones he's sending later today were taken at the same time as mine.
Thanks,
patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com

Think of those old stereoscopes that were popular about 80 - 120 years ago where you had a wooden holder with two almost identical photos placed side by side with a piece of wood separating the two sides so each eye saw a slightly offset image and the mind would create a 3D image out of the two photos. The old 1960's vintage Viewmasters also used this technique to create the same 3D effect as well.
