My attempt at stacking images to make the crater (and mound) more visible:

You're welcome! Only problem is, the movie is playing in reverse! I've updated the link in my previous post for the slightly slower, 'forward' version.

This raw movie footage was taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft as it raced towards Jupiter in February 1979. Clearly visible is the constantly changing attitude of Voyager's scan platform, which houses the narrow angle camera that took this particular sequence.

In total, 3531 frames were aligned to produce this film. The flickering is caused by the Blue filter frames, which are higher in contrast than the Green/Orange counterparts. It's best viewed at 720p (HD):

Here's my hastily assembled movie of the encounter (containing 61 frames):

You're both welcome!

Here's a faux-colour version (CB-GRN-BLU), rotated so that north is at the 11 o'clock position:

Here's the full, four-footprint mosaic (assembled with a fair amount of jiggery pokery):

Thanks Jason!

This enhanced IR-GRN-UV composite of Mimas clearly shows the bluish equatorial 'stain':

The brown 'swirls' are very redolent of similar features seen on Calypso, I seem to recall.

Blimey! Those are very good indeed!

I don't really 'dig' Mars, as such, but that is yet another tremendous image Daniel.

You also need to set up your own YouTube account, as a way of storing all of your tweened/morphed movies in one accessible location.
