QUOTE (Herobrine @ Oct 9 2015, 09:14 PM)  All of the images are described as "Tight-deadband 2-sigma LORRI mosaic of Charon" The last 6 images you listed are not of Charon, they are described as : QUOTE This image may look blank but it actually contains a resolved image of Pluto’s smallest moon, Styx.

@ugordon Oops. Good catch. You are correct. The last 6 are described as "LORRI 2nd Portion" (in the same metadata field I used for the other description) and identified as "U_TBD_1_02". I was in a hurry to put together the below image and only checked a random half of the metadata files (managed to miss the Styx ones every time
 ).Here's a hand-stitched mosaic of the 11 Charon images.  (2400x2400, ~1.4 MiB) |

Stereo images of Charon using new LORRI images and older MVIC image.
Resolution is ~870 m/pix. Extremely interesting topography.   -------------------- |

I think you've got your stereo backwards, it looks concave.

If y'all keep doing that cross-eyed method, your eyes will stay like that.
 Anyway, Alan Stern retweeted this from Corey Powell:
https://twitter.com/coreyspowell/status/652757094387593216 'Moat without a mountain' next to a 'mountain with a moat'. I noticed that before but hadn't given it much thought. On second thought, quite interesting.... |

Are these moats and mountains all within that moon-spanning spreading tectonic/rift zone?
Just asking. If so what implications might that have? P |

The anaglyph is correct (for standard red/left and cyan/right glasses). The crosseyed is also correct. Maybe you're trying to view it parallel? That would invert the stereo.

That would invert the stereo. Don't know what you mean by "view it parallel" - I'm just crossing my eyes and aligning the two images. Either way, it's not a big deal, I've always found these sort of images to not be that useful. |

The anaglyph works for me and looks fantastic.

QUOTE (Gladstoner) Moat without a mountain' next to a 'mountain with a moat'. I noticed that before but hadn't given it much thought. On second thought, quite interesting.... The Moat-Mountain/Moat series of features seem to be developing into a lineation ("Argo Chasma") to the north and east, separate from the "dichotomy rifts" ("Serenity chasma" and "Macross chasma"). That fuzzy area of the non-flyby hemisphere is so tantalizing. --Bill -------------------- |

QUOTE (Nafnlaus @ Oct 10 2015, 03:42 PM) I think you've got your stereo backwards, it looks concave. It's anaglyph and cross-eye and both work as intended. If you have problem with cross-eye version, you can try StereoPhoto Maker and swap left and right images. StereoPhoto Maker also allows easy viewing at 100% size. -------------------- |
