Apollo Sites from LRO Options

Would love to anaglyphalise (did I just invent a word? Cool!) those pics but I'm away from home and my software right now... came up to my mother's to celebrate her 70th birthday, bought her a hot air balloon ride, but mission control just informed us that launch has been scrubbed due to high winds...

Look cross-eyed at John Moore's images and you'll see the 3D effect. The LM stands out nicely.

Here's a quick anaglyph.

Nice, except I had to wear my glasses upside down.

The large image is stunning. You can see the entire outbound segment of EVA2 and much of the return track. Weird Rock is clear, as is the "large boulder" I indicated in my previously-posted descent movie image (post no. 136). My "large boulder" is the one directly south of the last r in the label Weird Crater, not the even larger boulder to its Northeast.

I see an intriguing long bright artefact apparently lying oriented N-S just South of Saddle Rock, near the arrow showing the outbound track. I at first thought this might be the Lunar Portable Magnetometer experiment on legs which was abandoned in this vicinity, but perhaps not... they discussed abandoning it further east, across the nearby crater.

Good point.

Yes, but I'm in the Southern Hemisphere remember

[Phil Stooke]

I wore my glasses back to front. How do you account for that?

[Astro0]

Same reason we drive on opposite sides of the road?

This discussion would be much better if someone just took the time to redo the image with the correct left and right.

[Phil Stooke]

Oh yeah - never thought of that...



(not quite as effective because it emphasizes the shadow more)

if someone just took the time to redo the image with the correct left and right.

Having someone hold your monitor upside down works too.

[John Moore]

The cross-eyed technique on the double set of images works best of all for this observer -- the 3D effect gets better and better as ones eyes relax into the cross-eyed position.

But as to how one un-crosses the headache afterwards, I don't know

I too prefer the cross-eye technique. The glasses never work as well for me. I always see a slight ghosting. Of course staring comfortably cross-eyed for long stretches makes me worry that I am rewiring my brain - never mind the headaches!

What strikes me about the image is how deep the large craters to the southeast seem to be in this 3-D image. That can't be right? The low angle light shadow in the first image makes me think the upper crater, for example, is much more shallow.

Here's an interesting comparison: Lunar Orbiter III & LROC

Yeah, I posted that one a couple of days ago in another thread. It's an excellent side-by-side comparison at very nearly the same resolution. It's hard to dispute that something made some pretty significant changes to the moonscape in the intervening years!
