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.

Yes, nice details can be seen on this map (from Dr. Shank). I wonder if the greenish cast in some areas would actually look that way to the human eye?

I feel quite certain the colours of that map are enhanced, but it is ok since it help us see details - just like the crisscrossing bands of Europa would be hard to see without such processing. I expect that Triton would appear rather grey to the human eye, and that not just because of the fainter light at that distance from the Sun. |
