Will the next burn take it to the moon? Or will there be another before that final lunar injection burn?

According to the last publication:

QUOTE
More orbit raising manoeuvres are planned in the coming few days to take Chandrayaan-1 towards the Moon.



There will be at least one more.

These were taken from 9,000KM and 70,000KM.
Since Lunar orbit is going to be 100KM, We should get very good pictures...
Have to wait 2 More weeks though.

OK, before I post about this one, I need a reality check. Remember how when Rosetta flew by Earth and returned a lovely Earth photo, it was published reversed (flipped right for left) -- see discussion here? Well, if I am not mistaken, the whole-Earth image from Chandrayaan-1 is also flipped right for left. Compare the cloud patterns over Australia to this photo, taken about an hour earlier, by MTSAT-1R, the geostationary satellite operated by Japan:

It looks like the other image is oriented correctly.

Am I right about that?

Well, I'll say this: ONE of them sure appears to be the wrong way around!

Seriously, mistaking left - right, or even worse, which way the illumination *ought* to come from is hilarious.

Where did you find that image o_O? Where can I get other pictures from that satellite?

Here's a jumping-off point for images of Earth from geostationary satellites:
