Tomorrow I will be stopping by our library. Some material has come in, but I am not sure what it consists of. To make a long story short, it appears that, although the Saturn part seems to be listed in the NSSDC catalogue, other than the three Pionner ring images (one red/blue set and one red image alonge) and the Io set, the digital data is lost, save any scraps that can be recovered from various places. This material may contain some more images...tomorrow I will know. The good news is that after looking at the available digital sets, there isn't much if anything that can be pulled out of them that can't be saved by just cleaning up the prints of the other images.

The highest resolution Pioneer image was never published except in raw form in the Journal of Geophysical Research Pioneer report issue. Granted, it needed work.....gain on the red and blue channels changed a few times due to radiation hits causing circuit state changes or something, and there was distinct periodic noise "herringbone" patterns not seen nearly as bad away from periapsis. It had some amazing resolution like 60 or 20 km/pixel, though
