I updated my site with a page with images of the moons of Uranus and Neptune. I will develop individual pages with more imagery, including color stuff eventually.
Here is the link. Also, here is a link to the Proteus page, the only indivudual page that is already up. By the way, at the bottom of the index page, I have a new shot of Neptune and Triton from WFPC 1 from before the repair mission. -------------------- |

Nice work, Ted.
It always amazes me how accurate a descriptor "cantaloupe terrain" is for Triton. I wonder if Triton is orange on the inside. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Have a closer look at the left one of Ted's Triton pics. There's an orange area visible at the left upper limb. Some far distance images show more of this orange tint, like this one: Btw., marvelous work Ted... |

The color seems to show up under low solar angles, although it is much less pronounced than in that image - Triton is rather whitish, really. It has all sorts of hues, but they are much more muted. Color exaggeration can be a good thing, but I have avoided it because the coverage I have here is so inconsistent that I am having enough trouble making the images seem remotely similar as it is. -------------------- |
