I used to have a poster of the Voyager 1 Saturn montage on my wall when I was a kid. It seems like it's time for a replacement:

This is comprised of the work of several forum members. Enceladus and Phoebe-volcanopele(NASA/JPL),
Hyperion-Malmer, Rhea and Tethys-ugordan, Mimas-Ian R, Dione and Iapetus-me(both pseudocolor), Saturn, Titan, Epimetheus, Telesto, and Pandora-NASA/JPL.

I know the poster - it was actually pretty terrible, unlike this one!

The only improvements I could suggest would be an outline key to each object (with perhaps name, diameter, and similar) and that the credits should be somewhere on the image.

Can't wait for you to become *really* addicted to Mars, too...

A very magic post. Lots of moon! what interesting is the Saturn with its very captitative attraction of moons.

A couple of suggestions:

* Most of these images have north approximately up except for Dione, so perhaps that could be rotated 180.
* There are a few more rocks you could add to Telesto, Epimetheus, and Pandora. Decently resolved views of Helene (see the Rev21 thread), Calypso, Pan, Atlas, Prometheus, and Janus, are available.

Beautiful collage! I suggest also to change some moons positions (or image) in order to have more coherent illumination... try to put Mimas on extreme right and Thetys on the left, for example.

Sometime ago I did this montage, now I have the right place to post it!

I don't think the old one was very bad, considering that, being 1981, it was probaby made with paper cutouts and paste. But this one is great!

love the fantasy montages, i used to have a voyager one on my wall too, however, who needs fantasy when you have the real thing.

I had a look at the raws but couldn't see this one, i don't suppose it was taken in more than one filter as i would love to see a colour version.

edit: so i found the original in therawsand there is no chance of colour.

That one is around one month old already (basically, almost every POTD release CICLOPS does is using month-old data) and there's only this one, clear filter image.

Regarding the old Voyager collage, I actually thought it was way cool, even if it was made with paper cutouts and glue.

BTW, Exploitcorporations, I'm honored two of my composites made their way into your montage smile.gif
Great work, too!

Lovely piece of work. The Planetary Society should hire you. (By the way, their Sunday night public talk on Europa at ARC drew a very hefty and enthusiastic crowd, and they were signing up a lot of new members at it.)

Great idea and superb work smile.gif
Reminds me of the late 1980s when I received those NASA-JPL lithos showing the Voyager - Saturn images ... amazing items for a teenager ohmy.gif

We're so lucky to live in this exciting era of unmanned spaceflight exploits cool.gif
