Comet Garradd in 3D

Here is a 3-D view of comet Garradd. You can view the stereograph by:

  1. Using the Cross-Eyed method.
  2. Using 3D prism glasses (berezin.com/3d/3dprism.htm)
  3. Using Brian May’s OWL Stereoscope (londonstereo.com)

I took the image of the comet using a Hyperstar III on a Celestron C11 SCT and an M25C OSC CCD camera from Starlight Xpress. The Dr. Brian May created the stereograph from the CCD image.

Greg’s “3” Asterism in Leo – in 3D

Here is a 3-D view of Greg’s “3” asterism which can be found in the constellation Leo. You can view the stereograph by:

  1. Using the Cross-Eyed method.
  2. Using 3D prism glasses (berezin.com/3d/3dprism.htm)
  3. Using Brian May’s OWL Stereoscope (londonstereo.com)

I took the image of the asterism using the Sky90 refractors and the M26C OSC CCDs on the MiniWASP array at the New Forest Observatory. Dr. Brian May created the stereograph from my Deep-Sky image.

Cabbage White Butterfly Eggs in 3D

Here is a 3-D view of the eggs of the Cabbage White butterfly. You can view the stereograph by:

  1. Using the Cross-Eyed method.
  2. Using 3D prism glasses (berezin.com/3d/3dprism.htm)
  3. Using Brian May’s OWL Stereoscope (londonstereo.com)

I took the images of the Cabbage White butterfly eggs using a Canon 5D MkII DSLR and a research trinocular microscope. The 2 images are focus-stacked using the Helicon Focus software, and Dr. Brian May created the stereograph.

3D VIEW OF DNA

Here is a 3-D view of 2 and a half periods of the DNA molecule. You can view the stereograph by:

  1. Using the Cross-Eyed method.
  2. Using 3D prism glasses (berezin.com/3d/3dprism.htm)
  3. Using Brian May’s OWL Stereoscope (londonstereo.com)

I put together the 3D model from a Cochrane’s of Oxford kit, and Dr. Brian May created the stereograph.
