I checked quite a few places and have not found much on the net in 
almost two years. I haven't been on the web much recently so its nice
to see something new. I should have rephrased my orignal post to say
of acceptable quality. Your pics come the closest so far but can
still be improved as you mention. Your on the right track regarding
the "D" viewer but you don't have to get one. A cheaper way to do it
as I have and others such as Alan Lewis, is to use a 8X loupe.
You can see an example of this on Alan's page at
http://www.arlington.net/homes/dlewis/projects/projects.htm
With this or similiar loupes you will get the magnification 
you are looking for. It would help if you had a zoom on your
camera. I have some more images on my web site you can check out.
As you can see mine have some problems but I am ironing out the 
bugs. You can only do so much with digital cameras. One thing 
that helps alot is to have the proper mounts to hold everything
in place properly. Here is some more recent stuff uploaded to my
web space.

As a (54k) stereo pair, a very rare reel from Lost in Space.

And a (25k) b&w anaglyph version.

And finally a (68k) b&w anaglyph pic from The Time Tunnel.

P.S. Yes I know its about time I set up a web page. I'll get
around to it when the digests start getting thinnnner. ;-)
