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

Sure thing...sorry ugordan, that was my mistake...I'm the one who needed to correct it There shouldn't be any more images with the pixel shift - although it'll take a while before we can update the archive with the new raws I'm afraid.

I'm the one who needed to correct it Hey, these things happen. I messed up a fair share of Cassini images myself with subtle bugs in my software QUOTE it'll take a while before we can update the archive with the new raws I'm afraid. Normally, I'd say don't bother as it would be faster to implement a software fix instead, but I'm a bit uneasy about the method I had in mind. I.e. if it could produce some other unwanted side-effects. -------------------- |

I.e. if it could produce some other unwanted side-effects. Yeah, I think it's best to do the whole archive systematically because it corrects a "wiggle" in the images that you can actually see stepping through old image sets that have the bug - the planet jumps sideways from one image to the next due to the pixel shift. On top of that I'd also like to get the whole library redone with the new processing methods, I'll work out an automated update method and then set it running on the archive. Thanks as always for the help though! -------------------- |
