This thread is for discussion of NH Pluto surface observations received after 10 Oct 2015.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Was the new full MVIC crescent image rotated 3 degrees prior to being published, or is the striping/banding artefact (mostly removed in this version) not aligned with the sensor?
I also notice there was a slight change in scale between this release and the earlier one. This one appears about 0.13% smaller (about 4.5 pixels out of every 3000). Also, @ZLD That new version of the stretched color image is fantastic. |

This new image is in its original orientation, so yes, the residual electronic noise is tilted relative to the image rows and columns. Also, the first-released version of the image was rotated slightly to make the horizon horizontal near the skyline mountains, for maximum scenic effect.

I probably should have figured as much, since the star streaks are aligned with the image and the vertical dimension of the image is consistent with what one would expect for a non-rotated image. |
