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 |

It is truly one of the most beautiful space images that I have ever seen. I congratulate you on some excellent work. http://syndicate.se/image/space/io_big.jpg I do have a few questions. What is the source of the Io image? Did you process one Galileo image of Io or is this a mosaic? Also, do you know the date that the images were taken? Another Phil |
