Charles Cross did some interesting work. He let me copy some of his moon maps when I was a youngster just getting into the biz of planetary mapping many moons ago. - and he gave me a copy of the Mariner 6/7 map of Mars which is still one of my treasures. Then he did some Mariner 6/7 near-encounter mapping for the Rand Corporation, and then the Mercury and Mars atlases with Patrick Moore. Moore told me he had just completed Voyager mapping of the Galilean Satellites when he died. Those maps, which I would rent out an elderly relative to see, apparently disappeared into the archives of the BAA. Maybe somebody could find them...
Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
