Everyone should know what a totally different sun that is! I clicked on the 2048 etc and the detail that shows on my big screen is fantastic! Give it a go people, it's really something else. Thanks again, Stephen!

The spread is a little far apart but perhaps there is a way.

I copied these images from: http://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/beacon/beacon_secchi.shtml Credits go to NASA. I photoshopped them closer together inorder to make the stereo pair work better. -------------------- Mahalo, Colin Kaminski Coulter 10.1" Dobsonian TV-76/Baader Film White Light LS60T/DS50/FT/BF1200 LDX-75 AT Voyager Edited by colinsk (03/17/08 07:15 PM) Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 9 registered and 9 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
