The head of the Medusa





Bernini's sculpture of Medusa's head
-
I went trough my image archives and noticed some similaritys between
nebulosity near Tulip Nebula and the Medusa in Greec mythology.
I think, similarity is most noticibly in 3D-presentation.

Original image and the imaging data can be found here:

- Well..., it looks like a Sideshow Bob, from The Simpsons, too.

New Version of PS StarAction.

NOTE, link fixed 07.04.2012


New Version Download it  HERE

 Whats new?

- A new Star Visibility action added. It let you controll the "Star Dominance" in your image by opacity slider.

 - In Stereo action there is some minor improvements including an extra step to controll Star visibility. Since there will be one image per eye, the apparent Star brightnes will grow. With this function you can now controll star visibility easily.

- NOTE. If you publish any images processed with the actions, please, could you add a mention, about actions used, in the imaging details, thank you.
