[Moderator's note: This thread contains images from the Iapetus 2007-09-10 flyby and discussion of them. It was created by splitting this thread which contains pre-flyby discussion]
Another CL-UV3-GRN-IR1 set was posted today, though Iapetus seems to have been hiding from the green and IR filters...here's my best effort at making something from the CL and UV3 images. Lots of topography on the limb! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

ISS_049IA_IAPETUS002_CIRS is now on the ground:
Clear Filter Frame: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...iImageID=125907 This was supposed to include a true color filter set (BL1, GRN, and RED), but it looks like the shutter times were a tad off and the RED and IR2 images were taken after CIRS pointed away from Iapetus (it points away from its target at the start and end of observations for calibration purposes). However, there is a UV3-GRN-IR1 filter set available from some industrious individual. The auto stretch feature appears to be working now so you guys should be able to do something with this data set. Some interesting topography is visible in the crescent seen here, including the impact basin in south-central Cassini Regio, a pair of ridges to the northwest of the impact basin in north-central Cassini Regio (these things need names!!), and the equatorial ridge. You know what, that's it, I am instituting a system of nicknames for the impact basins on Iapetus. These are just nicknames. In keeping with the official naming scheme for Iapetus, characters and places from the Song of Roland, all the nicknames will be predominately French. Map upcoming. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
