When Mariner 10 did it's second flyby, as it was near closest approach, it stepped it's filter wheel on one <?> camera though a sequence of filters, specifically including one wide-angle frame using the fiber-optic link to the "parasitic" wide angle camera lens and took a single wide-angle full disk view of the planet.
That shot (almost never reproduced) remains the single best view of albedo patterns on a semi-full gibbous disk view of Mercury. It looks like a horribly blotched mouldy grapefruit. |
