The ALFALFA sky in full colour 3D

Someone on YouTube asked for a side-by-side 3D version of the ALFALFA sky. So, here it is. You can view it with 3D TVs, headsets, projectors and stuff I guess. Or visually if you can see stereo pairs.

This is the same version as previously, using the ALFALFA 70% complete catalogue (22,000 galaxies). The 100% catalogue (31,000 galaxies) is now online , so that will be my next little project once I finish with the abstract stuff. Ideally that will be in 360 3D if I can figure out how to get around Blender's silly Cycles image texture limit (or maybe it's already fixed...).
