NGC 2032 as an animated 3D


Animations are made by creating artificial parallax to an image. Then two images are animated together by using conversion web service, Start3D. There can be some artifacts in images, due the experimental nature of this work! The volumetric models are based on some known facts and an artistic impression.
Please, let the images load for few seconds to see them animated!

NGC 2032 as an anaglyph Red/cyan 3D



You'll need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see this image right.
Note, if you have a Red and Blue filters, you can use them! Red goes to Left eye.

NGC 2032






NGC 2032 in HST-palette, (HST=Hubble Space Telescope)
from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
There was almost no emission in S-II channel.

NGC 2032, the "Seagull Nebula" (Don't mix to the IC 2177 at Northern hemisphere, also called "Seagull Nebula")  NGC 2032 locates in Large Magellanic cloud and it's in boundary to supershell LMC4. The gas is in various complex forms due the strong solar wind, radiation pressure, from massive stars in the nebula.



Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.

Technical details:

16" RCOS ja Apogee U9000 camera. 
 An Australian remote telescope
4x600s for the Luminance
3x1200s H-alpha
2x1200s O-III
2x1200s S-II
Dark, Bias and Flat calibrated.
Raw data is shared by Petri Kehusmaa and J-P Metsavainio

Processing workflow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v4.xxx
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations, added at 50% weight.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.

An experimental starless version.
