I think is time to start this new topic, now that Dawn is more than half-way in the transition from HAMO to LAMO (as showed in the plot below).

I saw just a few of them in person - mainly about the large south polar crater. http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientifi...and-6-december/ -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

It is 2 hours long and I have only viewed 40% of it, but the quality has been very good up till now, and I understood most of it. It is HD and if you download it be prepared for a 900 MB file. Here is the link: U21B Dawn Explores Vesta http://vimeo.com/33317236 Note:This is not a link to the AGU page with the embedded player. It is a direct link to the hosting site VIMEO.
