I heard about this 24 hours ago, and couldn't believe it - this is EXACTLY what has been missing from ESA. MASSIVE kudos to the ESOC MEX flight ops team for doing it

I tried to pull of a "super-resolution" image from MEX-VMC images taken on July 11.
I thought that two images from slightly different perspective might be able to generate subpixel resolution. Turns out that the 3 minutes between shots with similar exposure levels is still enough to radically change the perspective, making it not worth the effort. S/N got helped a little bit, tho...
