As promised in another thread... I thought all the images from Surveyor, Apollo etc. needed another place to go than the Mars Forum.
I will start the thing off with a link, not an image. I occasionally have images in Chuck Wood's Lunar Picture of the Day (LPOD) website, www.lpod.org. This URL: http://www.lpod.org/LPOD-2005-05-25.htm is my latest, a Clementine LWIR mosaic. The text accompanying the image explains how I made it. LWIR images from the PDS look useless but they can be made into very nice image strips. In most areas of the Moon they are the highest resolution images available, since the HIRES camera only functioned well over near-polar latitudes. So image junkies who want to see new scenery emerge from their computers can go wild! Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Thought I'd have a bit of a play - and to be honest, I'm sure these images have been presented a thousand times before - but pretty pictures are pretty pictures This is from LO3, two frames stitched from their scanning process. Doug Beautiful. It's interesting that the Lunar Orbiters were phototelevision systems. I think that's the only time the Americans used that technology, but the Russians loved it. Somehow though, the Russian PTU images were always pretty messed up. I know from Zond-8 that they had splendid cameras (those were film-return missions). But when they tried to develop and scan the images, they were scratched up and had pretty bad contrast. I've played a little with the Mars-5 images, and you can make nice pictures, but it takes work. |
