To all:
I am now on vacation in Spain, so I have limited access to internet. Please be patient in case it takes me a couple of days to answer your questions.

It's not like the approach is an immediate thing. They're only taking photos two days a week as well. Once they get into orbit, I think his schedule is going to be busy for quite some time. Now is probably the perfect time to take a quick vacation before it gets real busy!

Would you rather he took it during the year long Vesta encounter....or would you rather he just went without a vacation for 18 months?

How long does the camera take to make a picture?

--Greg

Hi Greg,
The camera takes about 5 seconds plus exposure time to acquire an image when we command single shots. We have a batch mode were several image are taken with one command, and there we can get down to about 1 image every 3.5 seconds.
Concerning the exposure times, we are currently in the order of 10 ms for the clear filter and between 150 and 1200 ms for the color filters, where we have varying sensitivity.

You got it right! My vacation duty cycle these days is about 23/24, while I still work 1/24 of my time. That is the advantage of networks these days. I still get promptly informed if something goes wrong or if new images hit the ground! I have also taken great care to train someone else to take after me.

... ...color filters... ...

When can we expect to see first Vesta's color image?
Can this be even close to "True color"?

Starting Friday, I will be back on duty providing on-site Operations support in the LA area. In case someone would like to get first hand impressions of what Operations mean, please speak up. Otherwise, see you all, Vesta connoisseurs, at the Vesta Fiesta.
