Apparently, the raws page houses at least two nice global views from above. One is the one Emily mentioned in her blog and Ian superbly mosaicked, and the other is a higher phase view and looking down from a higher inclination. I ran across it on an Astronomy Blog, the author still seems to be working on it, but it promises to look equally impressive.

I can't wait till this stuff hits the PDS.

I'd like to thank both Emily and Bill for kindly displaying the Saturn mosaic on the Planetary Society blog and the Riding With Robots website. It certainly makes all of the hours invested in the creation of the image worthwhile! smile.gif

The wonderful repsonse from the UMSF stalwarts here is also greatly appreciated, and hopefully I will get around to implementing the suggestion that Bjorn made sometime soon. I am only an amateur at this game, with a minimal amount of knowlegde in the image processing field, so I welcome all constructive critiscism from the resident gurus and experts here.

I did see the second mosaic in the Cassini raw directory, but decided against putting that version together since I was so burnt-out from doing the first one. I'm pleased to see that someone else is putting the necessary time and effort needed to make sure that this Saturn portrait gets properly reproduced too.

Finally, Ken, of course you are welcome to use the composite in your lecture - thank you for being such a gentleman to ask permission in the first place. In general, I don't mind at all if people use my work without seeking my approval, but to go that one extra step is certainly a sign of pure class.

Good luck with the lecture! wink.gif

Ian.

Here's a very quick-and-rough colour composite using some of the latest raw Cassini imagery:

Stunning work Ian, many congratulations! smile.gif

Like Ken I'd like to ask your permission to show your image to others. I'm giving talks in 4 different junior schools next week, and also speaking to two community groups, and I'd love to show them your pic. Is that ok?

I downloaded the frames for those in case I found the time to try to put them together -- but you beat me to it -- and did a much nicer job than I would have managed to! Keep it up!

Thanks Emily. I sure the colour balance isn't correct, and that Bjorn or ugordon could do a better job in that respect, but despite that, I'm quite pleased with the results so far. cool.gif

My latest composite is a natural colour view of the south pole:

Cheers!

Poetry in space.... cool.gif Ian, Bravo again!

Edit: removed the quoted section and added a enhanced version (not realistic, only in order to highlight atmospheric features and chromatic differences):
