Very nice work indeed Philip,
Is that a cylindrical projection similar to the one You've made of Mars' largest moon Phobos? Remember I've added Your Phobos map to my 2005 article on mapping the Martian moons... the other Philip

Yes it is cylindrical.
Here's a greatly reduced copy of my poster for Houston - on show next week if anybody's there. Phil PS - I have another poster with image mage Ted Stryk.

It's been a few months since I posted here... but my Eros mosaic is almost finished. I'll post an update shortly.
This was really just an excuse to say - I just heard today that asteroid 172996 (2006KL141) has been named Stooke. Enter the name or number in the search box here: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi to get the details. I always wanted an asteroid, I must admit. It's preferable to a lunar crater because you don't have to be dead, and preferable to a comet because you don't have to stay up all night looking for one.

Fantastic!!!
 Never knew anyone who had an asteroid named after him or her before. Big congratulations, Phil!!!

Congratulations.
At least it looks like your asteroid isn’t going to make a crater on The Moon (or Earth for that matter) any time soon. When you get an asteroid, do they give you an image of it? |

I'm going to put a Tim Hortons franchise on it.

No, man, do an online casino instead, seriously. How offshore can you get?

Ahh, you old non-Canadian you! Where are people in the asteroid belt supposed to go if they want to Rrrroll up the Rrrrim?

Ah...the wily, highly educated college professor, published author, and asteroid namesake Canuck has thoroughly confused the Tijuana-born robot! (Not that that's particularly hard to do...)
I trust your business judgment, sir!

Congratulations Phil! I can't imagine that it gets any better than that. !!!
Can we call you PJ now? EDIT: Gosh darn it I'm going to be about 2 miles from Ontario next week, and it would have been great to buy you a couple rounds to celebrate, but alas I'll be on the other end of the province, 350 miles away. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Back on topic - sorry for the digression.
Here's the current state of the last section of the Eros mosaic. Roughly 60N to 60S, 0 longitude (right edge) to 120 longitude (left edge) - but with a bit of overlap outside those boundaries so everything fits perfectly when assembled into a global map later. Phil
