Not that I mean to compare Itokawa to a sausage, just to show you behind the scenes of making the map, along with the map itself, here, rather than continue to clog up the Hayabusa Return to Earth thread.
Here is the map itself, so far along as the pasting in of the mosaic has gone.
And here is are two shots of the folded up map, compared with the computer-made model. Note the arrow to one of the "ears." The first try of the map failed to capture the ear, so I replotted the boundary, as seen in the Tracing image.

Well, so much for one more day. The mosaic has a glitch!

One of the small pleasures of pasting in the postage-stamp-sized pieces of the mosaic is watching the squirrely parts unscramble. This is fairly straightforward at the poles, and full of surprises at an asteroid's extreme contours. These have all resolved themselves with the notable exception of the "sea otter's" right neck, the orange circle. How I have it -- and i broke it down into 3.3 degree graticles -- can't be how it ought to look, yet I can't seem to find my mistake(s).

The problem might be in my hand-drawn graticles on the model, but I don't see how I'm far enough off to correct the squirreling. Suggestions welcome.

I've also got a mundane glitch at the orange arrow -- one of the postage-stamps pooched out the back of the active layer when I wasn't looking. Then, before I caught the goof, I merged the layer with the main mosaic. It's in one of the extreme contour areas, so I may have to rebuild the whole 10x10 degree "square."

This thing is gonna be wonderful when I can get a true-color mosaic . . . anybody out there working on that?
