The IAU approved new names for use on Tethys. These names include Scheria Montes (the central massif complex of Odysseus) and Telemus (an ancient impact basin near Ithaca Chasma).

Yes - here's a new revision with several changes.

The full resolution map is at http://laps.noaa.gov/albers/sos/sos.html#TETHYS

The close image mentioned from this month's flyby is used in the small area S of Antinous and E of Naubolos. The lo-res color image (leading hemisphere) from Ugordan was merged in (using hue and saturation information) with the higher-res intensity details. Looks good with the gold color, and with the color contrast for the equatorial dark band (bellyband lite?). Perhaps some color adjustment would still be helpful to reduce the bluish cast in the band? This is tricky since it is also near the limb where there may be a photometric coloring effect added in. In general one could review the lo-res color imagery from the mission to add in color information over more of the surface - I'd like to consider any hints that you all may have.

A number of images were re-navigated. Hopefully they're closer now even if some further adjustment may be needed.

That's the latest,

Steve
