QUOTE (Ian R @ Feb 7 2007, 05:51 AM)  Hi Ken, Yes, please feel to use any of my images and animations in your talk - I'm only too glad to see them reach a wider audience! Here is a rotated and slower version of the first animation: Is this right speed, do you think? Ian. Thanks Ian, thats perfect. I also would like to utilize the composite with those credits in an astonomy club column I write, for March 07. I'll keep you informed. many thanks ken |

This movie (using the CB2 and IRP90 filters) covers almost an entire Saturnian 'day', it would seem:

A nice high-phase set today with the rings crossing in the background, though only at 512x512. Can anybody do better with this?

They've done another complete rings survey in RGB (plus two IR channels), this time from the lit side, a 4x5 mosaic; compare this one to Ian's version of the 3x4 mosaic on the unlit side. It looks like there's still a couple of frames missing -- I hope those aren't lost forever, this will be a nice one. They even took a shorter-exposure frame on the south pole in order to fill out the details of the atmosphere of Saturn better. Here is my super-fast and very ugly version, just to get a sense of the point of view:
Can't wait till you image experts get a hold of the full set!  --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Eeek!
 I don't know if the center frame was taken with a lower exposure, or if the presence of the rings in the other frames caused the JPEG stretching to white-out Saturn itself. When this mosaic hits the PDS, I reckon the whole of the day side will have atmospheric detail visible (I'm prepared to be proved wrong, mind you!). Since the frustration involved in building the previous mosiac nearly caused me to headbutt my keyboard on numerous occasions, I think I'll leave this particular monster for someone else to do! In the meantime, here's a rather pretty view of the translucent C ring, with the ring shadows and limb visible in the background:

There's yet another absolutely gorgeous full-colour mosaic in the latest batch of Cassini raw images:
Due to the motion of the spacecraft during the imaging sequence, a seamless composite would be incredibly hard to do, unfortunately. Ian. -------------------- |

I don't think I'm alone in hoping you lose that new dictionary Ian. |
