ASTRO: Pseudo-stereoscopic astro pictures

There was a person on alt.binaries.pictures.astro who advertised certain
software that created pseudo 3D nebula pictures by convolving(?) the
original in a certain way (and was subsequently flamed as a spammer).

Does anyone have a link to his work and software?

Thanks much in advance,

Google search for "pseudo 3D" + nebula

Found lots of strange stuff I don't understand.

Search for the term "anaglyph" in search engines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image

Searching on "anaglyph" and "nebula" gives John Waitte in New Zealand:
http://www.angelfire.com/film/nzphoto/
http://nzphoto.tripod.com/stereo/

and he has (some odd) pages on pseudo-stereography and on nebula
anaglyphs and solar stereograms from the SOHO project:
http://nzphoto.tripod.com/astro/3dastro/index.html
http://nzphoto.tripod.com/astro/3dastro/sun/sunana.htm

Or maybe this is the person -
http://www.tabberer.com/sandyknoll/m...-software.html

There is a high-traffic yahoo graph on anaglyghs. They may know.

I found him. It was this guy:

The following picture is the stereograph for small Megallanic cloud.
Probably someone may think the blurry caused by the difference of focal length is meaningless in
the case of astronomical photo
because every star or nebula is very far from earth and the focal length for the telescope is
actually set up at infinity. However
in the case of nebula, the light coming through the cloud of it is thought to be relatively more
blurred than the light without
traversing in the cloud since the former has been scattered by the tiny particles in the cloud.
Thus my method may still work (at
least) in the case of nebula.
For other stereoscopic nebulae, visit;

digging that address, I get an Autralian ISP:

As I remember, the guy's website was set up to require you to register with a valid email
address, raising the suspicion of spammery. Plus, what he was trying to tout was apparently only a
pretty basic Photoshop modification that created pseudo-3d. Never tried it myself - didn't look at
all impressive.

Yes, that was him. Thanks.

Go to sci.astro.amateur
There is a post on stereography by the guy your looking for.
