These latest Charon images, five in a montage-able series described as "LORRI rider on C_LEISA_HIRES scan" are a great improvement on the initial Charon images.
When these images hit PDS as verified and calibrated etc they should be better than these initial jpeg'd public offerings, so there is room for improvement. But with later data transfer from NH, should there be higher resolution images of this series to look forward to? And could there be other images north and south of these to give a montage of the entire hemisphere or was this one track pretty much it? Still, these images show astounding detail and amazing features on this little world. Take a look: https://univ.smugmug.com/New-Horizons-Missi...haron/i-wQNMfhT --Bill -------------------- |
