Very nice!.
Here is a map of Bennu. The main part of the surface is derived from a map on the mission website which extends from 70 N to 70 S. I had to fudge the poles (as we cartographers say) from other images. A couple of rocks have informal names (The Gargoyle is one of them), which I will add when I figure out where they are. If anyone knows of any other informal names let me know. The map projection is the same as I used for the Ryugu map, as they are so similar in shape. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
