Emily's asked me to comment on PDS usability etc as there is something of a review going on as to how it might be improved. We're just the informed-amateur's, but any input might be useful. If anyone has anything specific, then scribble it down here and we'll see what sort of consensus we can form.

Informed amateurs? I thought we were enthusiasts!

Overall I'm happy. The first thing I can think of to complain about is the fact that at the imaging node it doesn't seem to be possible to download a collection of image files (usually IMG files like the Galileo and Cassini files) in compressed form (e.g. ZIP or GZIP). This wastes a lot of bandwidth and some time as well if the image files themselves are not compressed (usually they are not). This is especially true for Galileo images where the AI8 summation mode images (400x400 pixels) are actually 800x800 images with 75% of the image being black.

More information on how to calibrate the images/data would also be great. IIRC there is little or no information on how to calibrate the Voyager images.

EDIT: This may be off-topic but I would like to see information on the north direction in the index.tab files on the Cassini ISS volumes (for details look at this post: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...opic=1964&st=13 )
