Sorry, Ted, it's not clear to me what you're trying to do. It looks like you want to arrange them so that we see the changing spacecraft geometry rather than the rotation - obviously they could be arranged either way. The chevron is the best clue. If so, then in your trio, the left one should be rotated 180 degrees. The dark patch from 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock in that view is the big dark patch on the left side of the other two views. Arden Corona, if I recall correctly. The other (non-chevron) corona is not dark, and in your little view it hardly shows up, but it's at 9 o'clock.

Thanks Phil. By the way, I have assembled the Proteus sequence into a movie.
Also, for good measure, here is the current version I have of the ~1.5 km pixel image (which is badly impacted by severe underexposure). -------------------- |

Here is a new version of the Uranian combo with larger images.

On what principles did you scale those images? Titania is bigger than Oberon, but not that much bigger. Your Oberon is about 90% Titania's size or less, whereas the real Oberon is more like 96-97% Titania's size.

I used what I call "brain flatulence theory (BTT)." I was using the radius of Triton as the Diameter of Oberon...not sure quite how I did that. Here is a corrected version. It still looks a bit disproportionate due to the fact that more of Titania's disk is illuminated.

I have completed a global color Triton image from the best color set before Triton fully filled the narrow angle camera. Some versions of this are available, but I have tried to improve the level of detail.

That's marvellous Ted.
Speaking of Triton, have you considered recreating the view of an ancient Tritonian crater I mentioned in this thread: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...ost&p=92193 -------------------- |

I have completed a global color Triton image from the best color set before Triton fully filled the narrow angle camera. Remarkable coincidence. Just the other day, I was looking at the wonderful release image that shows Triton in fabulous detail but with the annoying artifact of a razor-sharp terminator and thought about asking one of the image "aces" to produce the product you posted here. Thanks -- into my screensaver with it! |

I can't quite see what image that is. I hadn't considered it, but wasn't really aware of it either...This looks interesting...

This may have been the image you were thinking of (this is my version, with a normal terminator). It is multiframe, requiring reprojecting and of better quality in some areas than others. I did this a long time ago. I could probably make the coverage areas run together better now. The earlier image I posted was from the last set before triton filled the frame.

Sweet! I've added that one to my list of desktop backgrounds.

Nice work, Ted.
It always amazes me how accurate a descriptor "cantaloupe terrain" is for Triton. I wonder if Triton is orange on the inside. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
