...And I ought to add something about Russian efforts to do this, too. I'll have to do more later. Suffice it to say they are doing the same - for instance scanning Zond negatives and trying to recover Lunokhod mag tapes. I am in touch with the team doing this. Very slow, no money, part volunteer labor, but eventually it will become a Russian equivalent to a PDS node. But don't hold your breath!
www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2004/pdf/1196.pdf describes some work on this. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Yeah, Voyager was the last to have the dots. Vidicon cameras and film cameras (such as Lunar Orbiter and Mars 5) were prone to distortion. The next spacecraft with a framing camera, Galileo, used a CCD, which had no need for them. (Gosh that's sad - the 80s were a sad decade for American planetary science)
