    Yer man Thierry Legault is a bit of a 'Ledge' astrophotography circles for imagining the ISS and transits like this. He controls his scope manually with a joystick and joypad as far as I know. Who said video games are a waste of time :D

    Works for me. You have to cross your eyes about a 12/18 inches from the screen and move your head closer to the screen until you see three images. Then just try and focus/concentrate on the middle of the three images and eventually it will pop into focus and 3D. Once you do it once you'll be able to do it again easily enough.

    Must try and dig up some photos of Nebulas processed using the same technique.

    [Edit]Here they are.

    ya! i can see it too after a little practice.

    You just gotta cross your eyes as far as possible until you see three images, then relax your eye a little and the image comes into focus!

    pretty cool!
