This topic is for all New Horizons Pluto surface observations received after 1 Feb 2016.
-------------------- 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.

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but thought I post a teaser of what I've been working on.
The atmospheric glow is a composite from the MVIC look back and the color for the terrain has been morphed tirelessly from the global MVIC image with further color enhancements to bring out details better. Interesting to note, I didn't realize the MVIC crescent image actually captured much of the alpine terrain on Pluto. Its exceptionally difficult to see but at the far left of the image, a slight red band gives indication to the location of the mountains. This red band travels north to south on the eastern edge of the mountains. Also, in the final version, this will be animated from the global view to the crescent at 3420x1460 if I can find a proper host for 4K video content. Working on the very edge of the crescent is tedious but its the last area to work on. -------------------- |
