I just realized tedstryk started a thread days before me.

If possible can someone merge the thread.

Sorry T

Hey, let's not let this thread go to waste, here's a quick color IR1-GRN-UV3 composite:

Obviously a postage-stamp sized image, but this is still 760 000 km out so it's only a preview...

How close do we get to Hyperion this rev?

Posted by: alan Dec 24 2005, 06:10 AM

About 230,00 kilometers.
One of the closest images

There is considerable rotation of Hyperion in that highest resolution sequence of images. Crop the pics to get rid of all that black background, and it'd make a quite nice animated gif.

Thanks for the info, Alan!

I'd like to see an animated gif of those pics as well; I wonder if the chaotic behavior would be evident!

Here is a QuickTime movie of Hyperion rotating from the closer images. It's rather neat seeing the large crater at the bottom rotate into shadow.

Rats; I can't get it to run or to download.

I had no problem playing it with Media Player Classic under win98se

I'm using XP, but the problem was that it wouldn't even download to my machine--maybe a firewall issue, though I didn't get any sort of alert. DJXAtlanta hooked me up, tho; cool GIF!!!

Here's my take on the Hyperion anim, I used a video deshaker to minimize jerkyness. It's still not completely smooth, though. I would have tried manual alignment by first enlarging the images and rescaling them back afterwards, but ImageReady kept crashing on me for eating up all virtual memory...

Warning, 1 MB GIF file:

No colors this time, unfortunately...

Shadow movement quite apparent, yet I expect changing look angle due to spacecraft motion.

Is it easy to seperate out the 2 effects?
