I tried a perspective view of this ancient basin (which i tried to get named Amata by the IAU but they decided to use the name for a itty bitty crater). Here they are. they are not all that pretty but perhaps will help everyone visuallize its shape.
what is really cool about this structure is the way that the younger grabens make a right angle curve right in the floor of this basin, as if following the rim

I'm guessing the odd shape and off-center central bulge of "The impact basin formerly known as Amata" is the result of extension on its west side, given all the graben on the west side.
At least that's how it is making sense in my mind.

EC,
Great work! Makes a great background for a large display.

QUOTE (Exploitcorporations @ Oct 5 2010, 07:25 AM) The September 3rd encounter really had some jaw-droppy stuff! Here's the monster mosaic, with 22 clear-filter footprints using one of the WAC frames for control. Steve, this one is unusually precise for me so parts of it might be useful for your map, at least until the professionals release the definitive version: [attachment=22683:Dione_20100903.jpg] Very nice mosaic EC - thanks for the suggestion about mapping. It's fun to dust off the Dione map and see how this fits in and adds new territory. So far so good. I'm posting here a grid overlay on your image. Looks like your north pole is fairly close to what I have at this point.

And here it is added onto a test version of the map...
I'm also working on refining a version that includes the Saturnshine images. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Here's a new version I processed this week:
And a full 8K resolution version (link below) that retains much of the detail in the images being used: http://laps.noaa.gov/albers/sos/sos.html#DIONE That's the latest, Steve |

Apologies if someone has already posted something like this somewhere but here is a full, uncompressed montage of Dione using the recent PDS data from COISS 2062 (1649316409 to 1649319522). I believe the level of detail is about 250m/pix.
Its my first proper attempt at doing a montage. The only issue was with colouring as the IR1, GRN & UV3 filters give everything a yellowy tinge. So I'm not sure how accurate my amended colouring is. The download is the full 9MB file https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TZoh4...feat=directlink and this is a very low res version.

Very nice and majestic mosaic!
If you want compare colors in your mosaic with real colors, you can compare images from ISS camera with VIMS cubes. Gordan Ugarkovic (Ugordan) has very nice program QUB2RGB, which converts cubes to real color images. -------------------- |
