Hello,
Anybody know off hand where I can find the raw non false colored nasa images taken of the Venus Clouds from past probes? I have seen some here and there on the internet but looking for the best original source that have not been tweaked or scaled or colored by others. thanks |

Just to say that I've updated my astronomy page and some links have changed.
The Pioneer Venus images are now displayed with image number, code and date. Processing is minimal, just histogram equalization of the scans. There are a few more Pioneer Venus images online, but I've been unable to identify them. http://www.astrosurf.com/nunes/explor_pvenus.html -------------------- www.astrosurf.com/nunes

A big problem is that almost all the released imagery is from 1979-1980, despite the fact that PVO imaged Venus through most of the 1980s if not into the 1990s (I can't find any documentation of images being taken after 1988, but I can't find anything to suggest that they stopped either). With the exception of very poor reproductions of some 1985 images (bad photocopies), I've never seen anything beyond 1982. Between the Pioneer 10/11 digital data and PVO digital data (and any form of data from later in the mission), this is one of the biggest holes in the available record of planetary exploration. Even the Venera-9 orbiter dataset is easier to come by (although it is tiny).
