A 15 minute baseline is about 415 km, about 16 million inches, so say the equivalent eye spacing of a human enlarged ~6-8 million times. Jupiter at opposition is at 600 million km says Wolfram alpha, so this is like seeing a 25 km sphere 100 km away with normal depth perception. Not bad!

I love unfocusing my eyes to see stereo images merge in 3D!

I feel like it's easier to do this way if you're viewing on a small screen. (relax focus, look past the screen)
