The Freie Universität Berlin (Germany) is directly involved in Cassini's Imaging Team by a membership of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Neukum and his assistant lecturers. They've planned and prepared about Iapetus, Dione, Rhea und Phoebe's photo sequences.
Now they published a stunning gallery on their Uni-website with some new (previously unreleased) mosaics and pictures! (those with red background) http://www.geoinf.fu-berlin.de/projekte/ca...ni_gal_last.php -------------------- |

I noticed there's a number of images using raw data, if they are part of the imaging team, surely they have access to calibrated data as well? Also, what's with the reddish-looking Enceladus images?

Also, what's with the reddish-looking Enceladus images? It seems that some are definitely far better than others, and some are nearly raw. And some of the Voyager stuff looks like old early 80s processing. -------------------- |

I didn't realize they split the moons between them. Shouldn't the data be available to all members of the imaging team and then they select which ones they process based on their area of expertise or something like that? What exactly does calibrated data from "their" moons mean? Are you implying their color balance is just guesswork and those images are no more calibrated than what some of us do here with the raws? -------------------- |

No, I mean they have only (immediate) access to calibrated data of the moons, which they are planning and working on. -------------------- |

Still, releasing raws under the caption they were processed by an imaging team leader might give off the impression that's the way those worlds look like. For example, I'm now (again!) beginning to wonder just what color Enceladus really is! -------------------- |
