I've been experimenting with 3d imaging techniques while waiting for better weather.

I've been experimenting with ways that I might be able to add filters and masks to some of the telescopes inside the observatory and create a virtual binocular telescope.  This would in theory have a true stereo view and be useful for observing the moon.  It would work a bit differently than my binocular telescope, but might allow some interesting features which we have not seen at HJRO for public viewing options.

More on this when I find out more and complete more experiments.

Most of these experiments involve my telescopes at home at this time and when I get some of the techniques perfected (if I get them perfected) I'm hoping to apply them to the telescopes inside the observatory for some observing sessions which others can enjoy.
