Color data consists of 30sec each blue, green and H-alpha. The 3D effect should appear as if the comet is lifting off the plane of the page if the opposite is happening try flipping the image horizontaly, you may be left eyed.

Description

As Comet Holmes has become more diffused, it is becoming more difficult to image it with a small camera. This enhanced and cropped photo was the result of stacking nine 30 second exposures. . The camera settings for the nine exposures were: ISO 400; F-3.5; 20 mm focal length. The nine exposures were taken between 5:54 and 6:05 pm, CST on Nov.16, 2007.
