Experimenting with anaglyphs : the Virgo cluster
Red-blue 3D glasses required for viewing. This is for use in a seminar in a couple of weeks. It's a schematic rendering of the Virgo cluster. The 3D effect works better than I expected, it's definitely better as an animation rather than a still.
The next challenge will be to produce one of an HI data cube, which is quite a lot more complicated. Hence I'm starting early and everything else is on hold (again).
