I found it odd that most astronomy books that I read never mentioned that they where imaged.
Here are some images from the book.
http://history.nasa.gov/SP-349/ch6.htm (Figure 6-5)

1. What hemispheres where imaged by the Pioneer's?

2. Has anyone used current moons maps to create what Pioneer could of imaged if it had better imaging capabilities?

3. If Pioneer 11 imaged IO what area could have been seen? (I understand Pioneer experience radiation exposure and caused a failed imaging attempted?)

4. Any why does Ganymede look so odd in the above link?(Figure 6-5)

Here is a scan of the best print I have ever seen of the Galilean satellites from Pioneer, from Nasa SP-439 Voyage to Jupiter. I have B&W copy of another picture of Callisto which is nearly as good as the above image showing a larger portion of the disk. I will post, if I can find it.
