Ahh, yes, I meant to add that link to my post! Sorry about that. The same site also has
lots of Apollo and Lunar Orbiter material. Something on Surveyor is supposed to be on its way. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

The Lunar Orbiter scans are also limited, but there are other sources for high res material (there exists better scans of some, but not all, of the Apollo images). -------------------- |

The Apollo scans for the most part are just for browsing, so you can select an image. But if you explore them, some are available as high resolution scans as well. I'm hoing that more will be added in that format.

QUOTE (vikingmars @ Nov 11 2005, 11:34 AM)  Thanks Ted !Ans as a tribute to PHIL STOOKE's great work on irregular bodies and for his nice discovery of the location of Viking Lander 2 on Mars, let's dedicate to him this Phobos image. It was flying above Ascraeus Mons enshrouded by morning clouds (also as desktop wallpaper for you to download). Enjoy ! This reminds me of the great view of Phobos and Mars from Phobos 2. Although there are other views of Phobos and Mars from Phobos 2, and although VSK images are quite small, there is something striking about this image.

Here is another project I am working on...Triton with Neptuneshine.

Nice! I didn't know Vgr 2 vidicons could actually pull something like that at Neptune!

There is a lot of smearing in all the images showing this due to the exposure needed. The daylit side is from shorter exposures. Here is an example:

tedstryk once again I almost spilled my coffee!
You have a gift at Amazing me. I am looking forward to the final results. |

I will have to look at it when I get home (I don't even have the image number here). -------------------- |

Great, Ted... I had never thought to look at Triton in planetshine.

As I recall, Voyager passed Triton after a north polar flyby of Neptune kicked it into a sharply southward out of ecliptic trajectory and encountered Triton essentially on the nightside of Neptune, where the planet would have been a fairly fat crescent. ....So.... I'm not sure how much of Triton would have been picking up Neptune illumination other than an unimagable (due to scattered light) zone near the terminator. Maybe the long exposures were searching for radiation-belt induced airglow/aurorae/nightglow on Triton.

The images that show the night side were taken several days after the flyby, so the geometry would have changed.
