Aloha,

Once more foiled by the weather and work, I find the need to scavenge through my astro-files (lest I do something as productive as house or yardwork... yeech!) So without further ado, I present my latest diversion... er, work: a different type of 3D rendering of the moon, an anaglyph!

This was made using a combination of the 3D transform process as shown in February's S&T (and in my previous image), but with a twist: Callipygian 3D editing software was used to further transform it into an anaglyph rendering. Uhhh, translation: get out your Red left/ Green Right 3D glasses kids (or use eyepiece filters), and check this puppy out.

Move your head to the right, left, up, or down and watch the moon rotate... it's guaranteed to make your knees shake and palms sweat, by golly gee!

Use your key to toggle the view to/from full screen mode:
