I don't know any links, the Pioneer team never did a very good job of publicising their pictures other than the 3 versions of the NASA SP Pioneer book. They never did any real post processing either, after making final versions of most of the pics. I always though there was a lot more they could have done, starting with putting the raw and final versions of the pics on digital tape at the NSSDC.
I always found most interesting that "boiling porridge" of features in the Pioneer 11 pics of Jupiter's polar regions, something we have never seen since nearly as well. |

That book is availabe online here. Chapter 7 has a good description of the imaging process, including comparing raw and corrected pics. Here's a side by side of the best I could find of Pioneer with a "typical" Voyager shot: (Apologies to those without broadband or who have seen these before. Please let me know if these images are too large or load too slowly and I will edit them to be links only.) Pioneer 11 : Voyager 1 and 2: Pioneer 11 capture the first detail from the polar view: Pioneer 11 even caught IO! -------------------- Lyford Rome

It's possible to create some "new" imagens from the Red/Blue raw images avaliable on that book. I've tried and the results improve a little, but we are still working with scanned images... So we really need to process the digital data. Perhaps the members of this forum might help in typing those numbers... Just post the scanned JPG here and we can reply with the typed data. -------------------- _______________________
