I thought it was time to start a separate thread on this mission, launching soon
some good medium-resolution images of the spacecraft are available on JAXA digital archives http://jda.jaxa.jp/jda/p3_e.php?time=N&...mp;mission=4066 |

Is the apparent striping real or some artifact of the camera/processing?

There are certainly artifacts in the image. Faint stripes that are always straight and parallel in the image and do not mold to the shape of the planet near the limb are certain to originate in the camera, not the planet.
