Here's an anaglyph I made from the two Apollo images using "Anamaker", a free online download that I got a few months ago. Works real nice. I used Paint.net ( also a free download that I've had for some time ) to rotate and align one of the images with the other along the horizon. Only took a few minutes.

It came out small, but it looks pretty good. It seems a little crisper than the APOD, if I do say so myself!

The LM looks cleaner, for one thing ...

It’s very nice, yes. This, by the way, is why it’s so much harder to find programming jobs these days. Software companies have taken over and provide at a far lower price the sort of stuff you’d have to hire a programmer to do in the past. Of course software companies employ programmers, but another reason is that the technology changes so fast you need a Maserati to keep up, and I’m a used Ford Chevy.

Well I realized it was small because I was using reduced images ( duh! ) so I got the good ones and redid the anaglyph, and I think this one is definitely better than the APOD:

If you look around the frontmost tire ( without the glasses ) you can see the difference. Also note the "microphone" looking thing at center shows no displacement in the APOD, placing it at "infinity". I'm thinking they used some kind of fancy canned software which didn't quite do the right thing.
