That is really cool, VP, thanks.
ugordan, I think you're just seeing the foreshortening one would expect near the limbs, north and south. My map was simple cylindrical, equal spacing of meridians and parallels. THere are other clindrical projections - Mercator, where spacing increases towards the poles to preserve conformality (shape), and perspective cylindrical where they get close towards the poles to preserve area. Every planetary scientist should take a course in map projections! Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
