How far apart would two earth-based telescopes have to be in order for their (CCD video) images of the moon to be combinable into a stereoscopic image?
(specifically would 320km be enough?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even less if you're not aiming at human viewers. 
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, give or take two inches. Good call.
|
|
|
|
|
Given that the moon is 15,133,979,520 inches away there won't be much of a difference between the two images.
As that is 384,000 km, then even a separation of 300km doesn't look like it will make much difference - 3000 may be more the required distance so this moon shot is cancelled.

Not my concern.

According to this stereoscopic guide, you would need to place the cameras 12,813km apart (if I'm reading correctly).
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

Going by the 1/30 rule - you are correct. All that is required is to have two cameras on opposite sides of the Earth. The problem is that for both cameras - the Moon will be on the horizon, which will distort the images.
Using two satellites in the same orbit but 180 degrees apart would solve the horizon problem.
Perhaps we can interest Elon Musk in the project?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You're not! The 1/30 rule gives you the distance of the nearest object that you can successfully photograph stereoscopically given the separation of the cameras. It's not intended to work in reverse to calculate the separation of the cameras given the distance of the object you're photographing. And really it should only take a second's thought to realise why that is, namely that the whole point of stereoscopic photography is to provide the appropriate depth to objects at a variety of distances. If the separation of the cameras had to be proportionate to the distance to the object you would have to capture multiple images with the cameras at different separations!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
