I've been trying to find a nice elevation map of Venus from Magellan data on which to start my work for this competition....and it's NOT easy - I found some .img's here
http://www-pdsimage.jpl.nasa.gov/data/mgn-...0/mg_3001/gtdr/ and attached is a mosaic I've put together of them all. It's a nightmare. I may just pull the section in the middle out as it's the only section without gaps, and then level off the values and see how it works as a terrain map, but I thought this would be an easy thing to find Doug |

Anything and everything much appreciated, I've had a play with the middle part of that mosaic but it's no use to be honest.
I dont mind sharing my ideas - I want to have a full venus globe with clouds, then in the middle the clouds sort of 'part' to show a window into the surface to demonstrate the sort of 'peering thru the clouds' effect of picking certain wavelengths for the onboard camera etc But under the clouds, obviously, I need something with some value, so the elusive elevation map remains a must-have Doug |

I like your idea. Another possibility would be a picture of VEx flying above the cloudy Venus and close to the Sun. An improvement of this, modify the clouds to be somewhat transparent to see a very superficial surface lines.... Just an idea

Actually having VEX in 'shot' is a no no in the competiton description

Just posting to point out that the contest closes on Friday...we still don't have nearly as many entries as we did for Huygens, so your odds are good
