Machi: that is very nice - did you use all available frames for the 4x view? It's from the all binned frames. There are four other unbinned frames, darkside of Charon is visible in them but it's very noisy. I'm pretty sure that full quality PDS versions will show more. At least, even I, with my little knowledge, can spot Cassiopeia ! Beautiful. It's not Cassiopeia as it's much wider constellation than LORRI's FOV. As image is made from two sequences with time difference 2 hours, Charon and stars changed their mutual positions. That's why image of every star is doubled in the final summed image and because of that it can looks like Cassiopeia. -------------------- |
