Just let you all know about a new blog I've started called The Gish Bar Times located at http://gishbar.blogspot.com/ . I intend to use the blog to cover Io-related news like new papers or abstracts, developments with the flagship mission selection process, newly processed images, volcano news, or pretty photos taken of Io and Jupiter. I hope you all enjoy!

Bjorn has touched on this earlier and has his own webpage on it, but I thought I would try my hand at creating a true color image of Io using Galileo imagery. I go into much more detail on my blog, but basically I used the ground-based spectra of Io to determine correction factors for combining Galileo violet and green filter images to synthesize an appropriate blue filter. Bjorn used the Voyager blue filter as a guide, whereas I tried to create something that was a little closer to the violet image but using the BL1 filter on Cassini as a guide. No images of Io in that filter are available, I just used the effective wavelength as something I felt was a best-case blue filter.
I post the image here, but I have the nice, pretty charts and graphs (yes, I have finally re-learned how to properly use Excel's chart mechanic, stupid Microsoft and their ribbon instead of a menu...) http://www.gishbartimes.org/2010/08/exposi...rue-colors.html -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
