I believe that 'Sky and Telescope' published a new mosaic of Mercury about 2 years ago, utilizing Mariner 10 images. It shows the entire hemisphere of Mercury imaged by Mariner 10 and was created by Mark Robinson of Northwestern, I believe. However, can any one find that image on the Internet? I'm sorry, but I do not recall which issue of 'Sky and Telescope' included that mosiac. Another Phil |

I think he's one of the best at compositing spacecraft imaging. There's a thread about his work here, and here is his directory of work: Malmer Images. |

That might be overstating things a little... but thank you very much I make my living making 3D effects for commercials all day long... the ultimate in turdpolishing. So I can cheat my way into making pretty pictures from source that are less than optimal... I have been playing a little with the mariner 10 raw data and its actually pretty fantastic material. strange that we see so little of it displayed. The largest images of venus i have ever seen are in there. beautiful stuff. Mattias |

The largest images of venus i have ever seen are in there. beautiful stuff. Mattias Mariner-10 images are the best taken so far. Probably the height of vidicon tube technology before CCDs took over. There were a little over aggressive about bit rates, so the images are noisy, but some were sent at a reasonable rate. The Pioneer Venus camera (if you can call it a camera) was not so great, but there is sure a mountain of images from it...somewhere. They have never been put online. Let's hope Venus Express will be impressive. The VMC takes small pictures, but they are hoping to stitch together big panoramas. I'm sure over the next few years, the ESA will release a couple of them for us to see. :-) |
