First specialized asteroid mission and NEARly forgotten one. And first landing on asteroid!
So it's time to change it. First image is Mathilde in enhanced colors from 450, 550 and 700 nm filters. Second is artificially colorised high resolution mosaic (116 m/pix). -------------------- |

My first mosaic of Eros.
It's from raw data and because I haven't got calibration data yet, it isn't perfect. But still it's maybe highest resolution color mosaic of Eros available (Eros is really forgotten object). Correction: I use wrong date (product creation time)! So now it's correct. I'm sorry. -------------------- |

Very nice! We had a thread on here until a year ago about Eros, so it's not totally forgotten, but there's a lot more that could be done with the images.

YEARS and years ago - probably 3, 4 maybe years before UMSF - I did some mosaics of NEAR images that made it to space.com Probably my first 'public' stitching work

Wow. So technically you were "born" in the year 3 BU...and here it is, almost 6 AU already!

Spaceviews and Space.com had used some of my Soviet work at the time, but that is all I can think of.

<O.T.> Long before "Photoshop" became a verb, like 1997 or so, some images I created were circulated among reporters I knew from work, and a reporter from USA Today eventually got his hands on them and did a small segment that they called "Altered Reality" or something like that. I was going to make a wildlife calendar of absurd scenes, like the annual migration of Mono Lake penguins returning to California's high desert. A couple of those were printed and I probably have that story in a box somewhere. I really should get around to doing that project now that we have high res SLRs and tools we didn't have back then. </O.T.>
