i did some heavy detail enhancement/extraction to this image below
i figured out timing (around midnight EDT on July 15) of the image (after doing some research) and figured out the location of the south pole (with the help of Celesta), than i did additional modifications and aliments to get the below also blended it with a already existing map (i also added in the charonshine stuff too (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.11976 ) chopped outoversaturated areas) i am also wondering if anyone else has detail extracted crescent images i can cooperate into the maps above, plus i also could use feedback/consent on the above from the scientists/experts here |

There's barely anything but I can discern a part of the farside "reindeer" antlers if your map is correct. This area has been mapped in greater more resolved detail on approach though. Much of this process has been gone through and added into maps, though the USGS map has not been updated to included atmosphere lit areas and they do not include hubble or night shine in their maps.

"This area has been mapped in greater more resolved detail on approach though" yes for color and just the overall look of the thing, but in terms of shadows, we didn't get good shadows, its like they weren't even there or the area is flat in the images (witch can be used to determine if the thing is a big crack or a huge mountain witch can help us understand Pluto's antlers a lot better --EDIT-- does anyone have the full resolution (at full resolution, and the whole image) of the image the 3 smaller images at the bottom of this fig came from, i can see some clearly visible far-side terrain even without any editing to brightness there is probably even more terrain that we can pull out from the haze, if we can pull this much stuff from Pluto's haze beyond the terminator we should be able to pull out farside terrain from crescent images posted in this thread |
