Here's another Voyager 2 narrow angle view, taken on 28th of June, 1979:

A day later, this officially released composite was captured, and provides a useful comparison of how the different processing techniques affect the final result:

As for realistic planetary movies without flickering - has anyone tried out Fantamorph ?

http://www.fantamorph.com/

Its not scientific software but it produces great flowing animations.
For the Voyager-Jupiter-movie-project an interesting addition I think !

Beautifully results! The only improvement I can think off would be to correct for planet rotation between each color channel image. This would require image reprojection or at least some kind of manual warp applied to parts of the image.

My hunch is you'd need reprojection software (bonus for illumination changes correction!) for really good results, especially dealing with WAC frames near closest approach. Then you'd probably have weird effects with limb haze, though. Best of both worlds could be merging limb shots with reprojected disk shots.

I think the color is significantly more realistic in the new version but beware that there might still be some bugs in my code so this might change slightly.

A quick sanity check on your code would be to check a known neutral case input. If you are working with I/F reflectance data (i.e. solar spectrum divided out), then putting in a completely flat (say unity) spectrum into the calculation and illuminating it with the D65 illuminant (which is the sRGB white point), you should get a completely neutral grey RGB color as output.

If you are working with radiance data instead, you will end up with a yellowish-orange color as that is what sunlight color appears in the D65 white point. The effect would be similar to setting a digital camera white balance to daylight/overcast and taking a picture or something under an incandescent lightbulb.

I processed a Voyager 1 crescent image of Callisto. It is amazing how much poorer the definition in Voyager 1 images is compared to Voyager 2. http://planetimages.blogspot.com/2011/12/c...t-callisto.html

Nice!
Is it from WAC or NAC?

" It is amazing how much poorer the definition in Voyager 1 images is compared to Voyager 2."

Isn't it caused by different exposition time and gain modes, more than differences between cameras?
After all, image technicians could use experiences from Voyager 1 flyby for Voyager 2 flyby.

It is from the NAC. Voyager 2's vidicon was roughly twice as sensitive as the one on Voyager 1, meaning that Voyager 1 images are more likely to be smeared.
