It's time to start a new topic for Juno's Perijove-09.
Due to solar conjunction, data downlink is delayed several days, but things appear to look good thus far. Data downlink started on October 31, and if everything continues well, it should be a matter of a few days, at most, until the majority of the raw Perijove-09 images will become available. Due to the incremented available storage for JunoCam, we may get a sufficient coverage to render a pole to pole -- well, almost pole to pole -- fly-over reconstruction, despite the difficult communication near solar conjunction. I'll have a try at least, over the next few weeks. |

Thanks! I like that sound track of Vangelis, Avisolo.
The stills are online since a few hours; the online version is compressed to 1.7 GB of JPG files, I've used 98% quality in order to save upload time and storage volume, and to maintain good quality. I've rendered two movie versions, one with short blending for Youtube upload, and another one with long blending resulting in an overall more continuous impression, but with considerable feature doubling. The individual scenes before blending are provided as MP4, as well. The MP4 scenes have been rendered from BMP files, the same files the JPG stills are derived from. Each of the BMP files has been rendered directly from the respective raw files in one monolithic step using double precision floating point arithmetics. |
