M45 (Pleaides)

I downloaded the DSS 1 images from LEDAS DSS in the UK. The 1.75 degree field needed to cover the same area as the Cassini image came out at a 50Mb FITS file. I tried to match the rotation and brightness if the Cassini image. When viewed side by side, some people report seeing a 3D effect.

Ciclops site tells us that: "The monochrome view was made by combining 49 clear filter images of the Pleiades taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Aug. 1, 2006. The images were taken as a part of a sequence designed to help calibrate the camera electronics."

This Cassini image must be the largest baseline image ever taken. Which leaves one wondering if images from Cassini [or any other Solar System probe] can be used to measure parallax by the professionals? Note: the Ciclops site carries this disclaimer- Cassini images released to the public have not been properly calibrated in any way and should not be used for any scientific purpose.
