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.

Rather not. It looks that most of color differences are caused by deposits from atmosphere (brown-orange are methane ices? and bright blueish are nitrogen ices).
During processing, I found only one darker spot in rough terrain (cantaloupe? terrain), which can be directly matched with some type of morphologic unit. Then bright ice deposits line the border of south polar ice cap and southern terrain is full of curvy units, which are more brownish (so presumably they contain more methane ices, geysers occurs in these regio). This terrain have not significant topography. But more interesting terrain is near terminator. I see terrain which looks like hybrid between Martian and Europaean terrain. Some regions looks like chaos terrain on Mars, some even with glimpse of outflow. -------------------- |
