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

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
