Great mosaics! They would have been even more awesome if you included a pixel scale on each of them, just to put things into perspective.

Europa is really an intriguing world, amazing how smooth it looks from a distance, yet has one of the more rugged surfaces close up.

It's actually remarkable how Galileo's old CCD was very capable of producing crisp images, a fact often forgotten thanks to heavy image compression out of neccessity...
Imagine the coverage of these worlds if the HGA was operational! I only wish Cassini was able to capture rapid footprints like this and get long imaging swaths as well.

Sorry about the scales:
E6ESBRTPLN02: 21m/pxl
E6ESDRKLIN01: 180m/pxl
17ESSTRSLP01: 39m/pxl
I had to smack my forehead about that. As for long swaths, I'll post the huge transect strips from E12 in a couple of days. Galileo actually did return some great stuff in terms of context...occasionally.

this work is just amazing !
Do you use the pds images ?
Are you planning new mosaics ?

Sorry it took so long to reply. The deconvolved I24 images came from an ftp server, but it's been so long (early 2000) that I cannot recall the URL. I'm not sure if they've made it onto the PDS. I assume their absence is due to the difficulty in properly calibrating these radiation-mangled monstrosities for scientific use. The above mosaic is a very crude approximation, made with cheat-sheet assistance from the PIA release from 2000. There will be more to come.

Spectacular as always, Jason. I took the liberty of tacking the rings back on to your mosaic just because this view is so cool.

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Oct 27 2005, 11:40 AM)
I use the SPICE kernels and information provided to us where we download the raws (similar interface to the PDS) to navigate each image in a program called ISIS (publically available from the USGS website).  I refine those solutions using a combination of limb fits, tieing to a basemap, or tieing to adjacent images.  once I am confident that the lat and lons in my images are accurate, I can use ISIS to reproject each image to the same geometry.  For the Dione and Tethys mosaics released recently, those are orthographic projections centered on the same lat and lon and with the same pixel scale.  For public release products, I just piece these together in Photoshop, just to speed things along.  I can also mosaic the images in ISIS, but often that's a slower process.

Thanks for the fascinating primer. I must admit that my learning curve with image assembly has been a comedy of errors. biggrin.gif I made my first composite in Photoshop last January(a crescent Iapetus), but only figured out how to use the transform feature shortly after the Tethys flyby( I stumbled upon the warp tool by using an unintended key combo). I spent roughly three years doing cut-and-paste Galileo mosaics with a printer and a stack of 14x17 "magnetic" photo albums. The only people who were remotely interested in this bizzare hobby were a couple of clerks at the local USGS map store, where I would occasionaly drag one of those ridiculouly massive albums for them to pore over. Photoshop is a little less messy...

I'd think a way to approach it might be to use the SPICE kernels to get the instrument pointing as a function of time. It's possible to get the intersection of the camera boresight and the surface of the target (longitude, latitude) for any given time. That would give the lon/lat of the center of the image if the time that it was taken is known.

Unfortunately, the Cassini website doesn't give the time, just the date of each photo. But it does give the distance, so the spacecraft distance could be  used as a proxy for the time. There would be some error, but it might give the location within a degree.

Thank you. I'm curious as to the exact process used by imaging scientists to construct the spectacular (and accurate) mosaics that are publicly released. As is certainly obvious, my own "handlaid" composites exhibit gross distortions and misalignments, particularly with global views(see the squashed-looking south pole of Dione above). I would imagine that the lat/lon centerpoints could be positioned on a spherical model and the individual images reprojected accordingly as they are placed.

Trying to identify the locations of WAC and Saturnshine frames, as well as those last few NAC frames before the crescent mosaic. Maybe there's a better way to do this than visually? Any help would be appreciated.
