I was just wondering if someone has "super enhanced" the Voyager 2 images of Neptune's largest moon Triton and made them available to the public? I've read about and seen it done on Voyager images of Saturn's moons. Considering there won't be an orbiter going to Neptune being launched for a long time, this could be very worth while idea.

But were has this orange hue gone? The orange, turquoise and violet colors were the most astonishing and impressive features, when I first saw the images in 1989: 'Wow, so far away from sun and then these colors.' Actually images from less distance didn't show them in this color strenght any more... Why? False color imaging? What are the natural colors of Triton? Bye. |

Looks to me like like it is a color balance issue. And, remember that since it is Voyager data, there is no red, so the color will be shifted with either Green or Orange substituted for red.
