i did some heavy detail enhancement/extraction to this image below


i figured out timing (around midnight EDT on July 15) of the image (after doing some research) and figured out the location of the south pole (with the help of Celesta), than i did additional modifications and aliments to get the below

Attached Image


also blended it with a already existing map (i also added in the charonshine stuff too (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.11976 ) chopped outoversaturated areas)






i am also wondering if anyone else has detail extracted crescent images i can cooperate into the maps above, plus i also could use feedback/consent on the above from the scientists/experts here

There were some fine image results from the New Horizons team working with some of the departing images showing the terminator. Details were recovered from the faintly lit terminator. You need to go through the threads covering the NH post Pluto encounter.

I'm afraid what you have pulled out looks like noise only to me.

i think its more than noise

this here looks a lot like a possible crater you can see a crater rim and a central peak
that is not in the low resolution data in already existing pluto maps

--EDITED TO CHANGE TONE OF MESSAGE, so i am not giving a very strong claim--
