I try to avoid linking to my own blog (figuring that if you guys think something's worthwhile you'll post a link, else not!), but in doing so today it's only to point you all to some amazing detective work done by another UMSFer, Ted Stryk:

Jeez... that's truly amazing work, Ted. I know how modest you are about your image processing work, so any recognition and praise you get for this find will be well deserved.

The color is rather tortured...the very left most part is simply based on the rest of the image, soon after the first moon image it becomes Orange-Blue with a tweaked "Green" fudged from an average of the two available images, then Orange-Blue-Violet with Blue tweaked to be more like Green, and, finally, just beyond the second "shadow", it becomes Orange-Green-Violet. In addition to try to force the non OGV portions of the image to behave like the OGV section, the transitions are done gradually over about 25 pixels in order to prevent discontinuities.
