Description

A 3D rendering of a solar H-a image. For best results, use Red left/Green right 3D Glasses or eyepiece filters. Due to the process used to create this image, Red/Blue filters may seem to work but are not nearly as dramatic as is the effect from using Red/Green (assuming your monitor is correctly profiled). Focus may also be affected. If you do not have Red/Green glasses, raid your equipment case for Red and Green eyepiece filters... the difference is worth it, trust me! To check your 3D glasses or eyepiece filters for proper color match, move the Red filter over the image, noting that the Blue/Green sections of the image disappear. Repeat using the Green or Blue filter. When the correct colored filters are used, you should see no traces of Green or Blue with your left eye, and no Red with the right eye,.and the image should appear to protrude from the screen. Move your head to the right, left, up, or down and the sun will appear to rotate! The background starfield is used to create additional depth, and is from my Canon DSLR M44 (Beehive Cluster) image. 3D transform done using Adobe PhotoShop CS, with anaglyph rendering via Callipygian 3D Photo Editing Software A starfield background was used in this revised version so as to provide additional image depth.
