This thread is for discussion of NH Pluto surface observations received after 10 Oct 2015.


--------------------
A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Definitely getting some features here Fred. Good work!

Edit: Looking at the positions within the system, I actually think this may be mostly scattered light rather than Charon-shine.

I tried enhancing the contrast a little more here as well.

sorry if this is nacroposting, i reprojected the thing, and compared it to the charonshine (Click Here for article)
below is the charonshine from the article


and here is a reprojection of that charonshine extraction attempt (i inverted it back, the thing looked like it was inverted in the original, i also did some enhancements)
(offset is correct too)

and most of the stuff lines up, idk if its just me or there may be some topography visible outside of the range of the charonshine (streaks in map is just artifacts)
i am not saying it is 100% charonshine, i just did a little comparison, and the stuff lines up nicely, so yeah you have some night-side terrains (illuminated by atmosphere shine, a bit of it could be charonshine)
