Visual effects of traveling near light speed at 1g acceleration

[zeroxg]

Hi does anyone know where I can find a video that shows what one would see if one went on a relativistic journey from Earth, accelerating at 1g to a distant star?

I have some idea for example length contraction when looking perpendicular from the direction of travel, and things in front would become blue and things behind red; and the shapes would be distorted.

I have read that objects the ship has recently passed would still be visible from the front for some time, why does this happen?

If you use Google you should be able to find a number of videos on the net showing relativistic effects, for instance [1].
