Indeed, very odd o_O

I'm guessing that someone is planning to use it in a yet to be published publication, so releasing it to the press may mean that it can't be used in the publication.

Was the first flyby mosaic used in such a way?

I could give this a try (in the context of a global cylindrical map) if I had the images and navigation info in a convenient form.

Blar, does that mean I have to do it? But there are soooo many craters Okay, I admit it, this is a month late... http://gishbar.blogspot.com/2009/10/global...-2nd-flyby.html <rant>Okay let me just say, that maybe it is just ISIS3 and its MESSENGER-related programs, maybe it is the images themselves (actually, I know it is partly the images themselves. Stupid range-to-target smear, you and flatfields will be the death of me), who knows...but I have spent FOUR DAYS trying to get a decent control point network for this mosaic. FOUR DAYS... and it still didn't come out the way I hoped it would... So let me say this, don't say I didn't work hard enough on this thing if you see a seam...</rant> Anyways, info on the mosaic is at the blog... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

Great work!
I am assuming the odd stretching near the limb is an effect of Messenger's distance being less than infinite. -------------------- |

No, that's an effect of the control point network not doing its job... and placing the "limb" a few pixels beyond the actual limb at the bottom and a few pixels inside the limb at left and top.

Here are a few more:
http://gishbar.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-m...messengers.html This time I uploaded a global color mosaic, a high-resolution color mosaic, and a very high-resolution narrow-angle camera mosaic that covers a strip along Mercury's equator. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
