Here's a map of Mercury that I've been using for a couple of months now, I've added some radar information that's available on the web. This map includes recent (reported within last 2 wks) amateur imaging (290-360 deg) by John Boudreau and our SOAR telescope imaging from earlier in the yr (185-290 deg), only to +-70 deg lat shown however. Alignment along longitudes of bright features (all rayed radar craters) is an artifact of the phase correction. Agreement with rayed radar craters and their diameters is given in our paper. http://stew.physics.unc.edu/MercuryComposite.jpg ( large image removed, replaced with link. Not everyone has 100 Mbit internet and 2500 pixel wide monitors - DOUG) |

Welcome Gerald. Thanks for the links to your paper.
