My understanding was that the public release of daily raw images was forced on the imaging team by JPL against their wishes.

Be that as it may, this doesn't give Porco the right to harass private, taxpaying citizens who take advantage of the public releases. I wonder if she sends similar emails to Elachi or Griffin.

So guys no stitching of that Jupiter/Pluto/KBO/etc objects...
Maybe that is the reason why we still haven't seen first Jupiter photos from NH...
There ain't no NH Raw Images site???

..
...weeel we could buy a poster from Diamond Sky Productions for some $$$...

We HAVE seen the first Jupiter image - and we are a LONG way from worrying about the NH Pluto encounter - and being an encounter over a period of a few weeks, it's not analogous to MER or Cassini.

There are reasons to be upset over some things, but NH imagery is not one.

Thanx!
Then I got an email from Carolyn Porco...

Mattias, can you send me via private messaging a copy of this email? I'm not going to get in a political discussion here, but I have the ability investigate NASA/JPL policy and how it came to be and where it's going -- from the top down. One thing is certain, the MER model has been a tremendouos success and a positive PR triumph for NASA specifically and space sciences in general. I will leave your name out of it.

Easy now!

Dont you all go on a rampage over this. I will still do work for every other mission i can lay my hands on. (I might even do some cassini stuff when no one is watching)

Personally i think that all space data should be "For All Mankind". I think that we as a species need to look outward to solve our local problems. We need to drop our egos. Thats why i had my pictures in full resolution in my little webfolder. (currently offline due to server reconfiguration) I want anyone to be able to print them and put them on ther wall or in their classrooms or whatever so that everyone could see the immense beauty.

I do however take a small fee if its supposed to go into a publication because I need to make sure that my wife thinks its worthwile having me infront of my computer all the time.

Im sorry for hijacking this thread. Can we return to the issue off which panorama stitcher is the most useful?

Actually, the most useful panorama stitcher is a good straight-edge and non-yellowing tape....

If I cut up a rover panorama into printout sized segments with a few pixels overlap.. I can get nearly seamless looking strip mosaics from my $300 color laser printer.

When the shed-office is finished, I have two plans for 'decorating'. One is the victoria pan on the wall behind the desk - and the other is to print all the individual pathfinder colour frames, trim them out and stick it all on the wall frame by frame smile.gif

Be careful, Doug. You shed could end up looking like the shed in the movie A Beautiful Mind. You know, the scene where Alicia Nash (Jennifer Connelly) goes to the woods behind the house, walks in to the old abandoned storage shed, and discovers what John Nash (Russell Crowe) has really been doing during his "recovery." tongue.gif

There is one thing that needs to be taken into account when comparing the apparent 'attitude' of the Cassini imaging team (or at least its PI) to that of the MER team:

Public realtime (or near-realtime) release of the MER imagery was the plan right from the start. Also of significance is that the MER project was started years after the WWW started.

Cassini is a totally different beast. It was started as a project before the WWW even existed. The realtime release of Cassini images was applied 'retroactively', it was never planned. I'm not trying to justify anything some of the Cassini people may have said or done but I still think this is a significant factor.

That said I think Cassini may be the last mission where this is a problem. The last US mission that is - ESA still has a lot to learn. Because of this, Malmer's decision to not publish anything from ongoing missions sounds drastic if I'm correct - this is not a problem with MER images and apparently not MRO either (hopefully we'll soon know).
