Random question: But why are the MT3 images usually smaller?

To improve signal to noise. Not a lot of reflected light at that wavelength.

CB2 frames are 3.2 seconds exposures. MT frames are longer IIRC. Mea culpa! Still, for 4 second exposures you'd need 10 km/sec (22,000 mph) winds to blur by a couple of pixels, so I think we still have to conclude that the storm clouds are intrinsically "blurry"- overlying high cirrus, maybe?

Ditto!
I'd love to sneak it onto the wall, unlabeled, at MOMA, and overhear it being discussed by the art crowd. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Gorgeous! I started making that myself but halfway along the strip I was getting one of those headaches you get after eating ice cream too quickly...

Way to go Astro0! I love it when our members combine a little creativity and ingenuity to take images to another entire level.

I've just added some rough, RGB wide-angle views of Saturn and the storm to my Flickr account:
