I was just wondering if someone has "super enhanced" the Voyager 2 images of Neptune's largest moon Triton and made them available to the public? I've read about and seen it done on Voyager images of Saturn's moons. Considering there won't be an orbiter going to Neptune being launched for a long time, this could be very worth while idea.

i had forgotten about this idea long ago. interesting but the difficulty has been that any number of cuts and rearrangements can be made on this surface and none are truly unique or diagnostic. this terrain is not easy to work on but it is comprised of lots of adjacent closed and partly open circular features of similar size, a characteristic of diapirism (think salt domes or convection) not impact craters.
