Voting for Perijove 06 started yesterday, and it will last for another almost 7 days.
This time, I'm not quite free of bias, since I'm interested in an extension of the polar time-lapse sequence, especially in a coverage of the north and south polar FFRs and the presumed edge of the respective polar haze disks. I think - well, I'm rather certain - that it's possible to infer short-time dynamics of the FFRs, and of the vortices near the edge of the haze disk. Due to the expected good contact to Earth during the PJ-6 pass we have a good chance to obtain overlapping images of these regions. More in the discussion section on the missionjuno site. Of course, there are other interesting targets, too; see Glenn's and John Rogers' (Philosophia-47) comments. A full latitude coverage would allow for a pole-to-pole animation. |

Most of the remaining PJ06 close-up raws are on the mission site by now. So, I had a long night with processing these.
I've modified the red/green ratio from 0.82 to 0.88 for the new processings. Images #122 and #123 have bad reddish pixels due to some yet unidentified over- or underflow. I'm not yet sure, how long it will take to fix this software issue. If someone likes to post-process the images, especially the two flawed ones, feel free to do so. I'll upload the new images to the missionjuno site except #122, #123, and #142. The latter shows greenish portions due to partial CCD saturation. (I'll notify Candy directly via email, before uploading.) Before rendering a full movie, I'll first need to find and fix the software issue. In the meanwhile, I can adjust the color weights for the movie according to your wishes. This week, I've only later today, Wednesday and Thursday time for movie renditions. So, I'm not yet sure, whether I'll be able to complete a full pole to pole flyby animation with 125-fold time lapse this week. But I'm confident to able to render some fragments, at least. I'll start rendering the approach sequence for the northern half in about 12 hours, even if the software flaw won't be removed, and hope, that it won't show up in this part of the sequence. |
