Regarding the enlargement, I like neither the blurriness nor the jaggedness of the limb. Both, I think, do a disservice to the FC which I think is supposed to be a very fine instrument. Now that details can be resolved, it's much better just to post images that are not enlarged. Consider the most recently released image of Vesta. Now consider a Cassini image of Phoebe with the same number of pixels. The Cassini image looks so much crisper, and a comparison between the blurry-looking FC image and really any other deep-space camera image makes FC look like a crappy instrument, when we know it's not. it's not a fair comparison, because the Cassini image started out with 800 pixels, while the Dawn one started out with only 400. But most people don't know that; they just see a blurry, pixelated image.
