[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.

You may need to rotate them so that they are both pointed north up. However, I am not sure there is enough difference between the geometry of the two images. I am assuming you used the two frames from SATUSHINE001? The sub-s/c longitude changed by 1/2 of a degree between the two. I would wait until the WAC from ORSHIRES001 - trigger number 2901 comes down. That would make a much better stereo pair.

Yes, they're the two from SATUSHINE001; the second of them was described as "ridge stereo" so I assumed that's what they were for. But after more fiddling I'm giving up, as it seems that there just isn't enough difference between them to make the point of view any different between "left" and "right." One's 10% closer to Iapetus than the other but Cassini didn't move around the limb enough to make any difference.
