Recently I discovered the MOC atlas and I have found this to be quite a work of art with the surface of Mars looking like a painting. http://mars.asu.edu/data/moc_256/
Unfortunately I am having a hard time locating a color map of MOC WA images which utilized the red and blue filters. Does there exist one or not really? -------------------- "Thats no moon... IT'S A TRAP!"

Recently I discovered the MOC atlas and I have found this to be quite a work of art with the surface of Mars looking like a painting. Thanks, I'm pretty proud of that. Unfortunately I was never able to complete a color version. For one thing, the WA blue geodesy campaign coverage was noisy and incomplete. It ended up being taken at half the resolution of the red images and was even harder to remove photometric signature from. The merged MOLA/MOC image that went into https://tharsis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ngs.html was colorized from a color global map mosaic assembled by hand by Mike Malin. I know there's been some more recent work on the MOC WA dataset by a few people, for example https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020JGRE....06231R/abstract but I'm not aware of anything like a native-resolution WA color mosaic. It would be a big task, trust me. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
