Nice one, Dan, but why not do a free-view pair as well? I'm afraid that if
the original images are in colour, then I can't really see the sense in
producing an anaglyph (any originals, that is, not just yours). Where did
you find the originals? I came across a set of Jupiter pics in Sky &
Telescope last July (I think), and wrote to the author for access to
original files, but have had no reply. 

Stereo views of the moon and planets are just the bees knees, IMO. With
all due respect to Boris, and other masters of the table-top genre,
astronomical stuff (eg whole planets, not just the recent Mars lander
pics) is really quite special. When I eventaully get a web site up, I
shall bung some examples on it myself.  There; I've committed myself.
(There are those who would say I should be committed...)
