(grins a bit toothily at Bruce Moomaw, canary feathers in one corner of the mouth)
Agreed, I'm being a bit prickly, but I made specific points in my posting that were never addressed, and I felt the whole discussion including those points was rather summarily dismissed. I think I asked somewhat later (maybe in another thread) for some other moons' high-phase images with non-pume features that were a good counter example as evidence that the Enceladus pics were just scattered light (so I could run comparison enhancements on them), but never got pointed toward any. |
