She will read this shortly. Anyway, you can email her - blog@planetary.org.

Nick: I tried Flickr and Picasa Web Albums without success. That's why I was asking if anyone knew of another site that accepted this kind of file.

Try Dropbox, it gives you 2GB with no size limit, public links and synchronization. I use it all the time.

If it is a gif, imgur.com works quite well.

Hey Chuck, looks like you have a new place to apply your mapping technique!

Not quite yet. I still have to coax someone into fabricating an actual object I can work from.
The imagery should be fantastic.

I'm always happy to host big stuff Sorry, was taking a holiday at LEGOLand yesterday with the kid or I would have read this earlier! Just email it as Syrinx said.

[tasp]

LOL, my first thought was of your kidling making a model of Vesta with Legos.

Might be useful for chuckclark . . . .

I can send the lego dat file if anyone is interested

Here are my three attempts at making Vesta anaglyphs. The first two are from adjacent frames, while the third one skips a frame, with varying success. Without knowing the geometry of the images, these are more or less shots in the dark, but they do give you a hint at some of the topo features in the equatorial region.

OK Tayfun, that is irresistible. Bring it on

Hi, I'm stich images into Spherical panorama. Only North is black.

Hi. I wrapped Adam's map around the standard Celestia model for Vesta, and the result is nice. I had some good time flying around. See a short movie here: http://youtu.be/qAkRunZl3eY.

(Adam: I tried to contact you to ask for permission. If you prefer, I will remove the video. It's not public now, only accessible through that url. Just let me know.)

OK, here's CosmicRocker's Vesta anaglyph animation:

Here is the lego dat file, it needs 13314 parts if built as a solid.

The result is amazing but, may I ask why is Vesta rotating backwards? And how about the axis? It has a strange behavior, it does not keep the north up nor the Y axis up.
I do not means this as a criticism, it is just that the cartography of Vesta is complicated enough without the help of any additional confusion. Would it be too much to re-work this in North-up orientation?

It has to be done with one 'eye' on the left and one on the right. The constraints of making an anaglyph conquer everything else.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. See, that is the problem when the professionals of one thing mix with those of another thing: that they get smacked in the face (and well deserved). Does the direction of the rotation also have an impact on how anaglyphs are seen?
