so could it still be accepted as a map for comet Halley, until the thing comes back and we preform a good flyby A map is only useful if it is instructive. Your map - even with your best effort to fix the jagged edges - is dominated so much by artifacts that any real features are frankly hard to differentiate from the artifacts. I don't think, as a map, it is useful. |

Just a reminder: next December 9 Halley will be at aphelion.
I wonder whether VLT or another large telescope will again attempt photographong the nucleus. |
