Hi,
as june begins, time to open this thread...  As said before there will be another Iapetus campaign in the second half of this month - from 17th until 27th. Unfortunately the minimum distance will only be around 1,3 mio. km, resolution about 8,1 pxl/km. Also the short Celestia-animation again: 
Iapetus_june_2006.avi.html ( 373K )
Number of downloads: 817Just remove *.html and run the avi-file preferably on a DIVX-player. Bye. |

Hi,
the first two june-shots of Iapetus are online. Here an enlargement:
Date: 2006-06-05 Distance: 4.212.487 km (!) Filters: CL1 and CL2 Remarkable the 2 giant impact bassins, one at the dark-bright border and the other one at the bottom - more difficult to see - in the dark area. Bye. |

Hi,
CASSINI transmitted further 31 Iapetus images. Some widefield pics are also among them - maybe some positioning control or do they probably try to find some Iapetus coorbitals? But these should be about 30° before or behind Iapetus...  This was taken: June 21st - 11 tele/4 widefield pics June 22nd - 14 tele/2 widefield pics Here two takeouts , ~3x enlargement:
Date: 2006-06-22 Distance: 1.398.591 km Filters: CL1 and CL2
Date: 2006-06-22 Distance: 1.398.128 km Filters: P60 and MT2 And a widefield view:

Hi,
back again with some weird pics from Iapetus... An astonishing number of 151 images was taken on june 23rd alone. But there are 124 among them showing only star fields - no Iapetus at all! And these are no widefields! Have a look for yourself... Are they probably trying to find some Iapetus moons? Or are thes pics taken at the Lagrangian points? This was taken: 124 starfields 7 widefields 14 tele pics 6 half-Iapetian overexposures (3 of each half) Here some takeouts, ~3x enlargement:
Date: 2006-06-23 Distance: 1.343.121 km Filters: CL1 and IR3
Date: 2006-06-23 Distance: 1.343.092 km Filters: P120 and UV3 Note, the 'Moat / Snowman' is slowly getting visible at the right limb! Here two overexposured halfs stacked together:

Hi,
the next Iapetus image series is online, this time 47 pics. This was taken: 24 starfields 6 widefields 17 tele pics including 3 overexposures Here some takeouts, ~3x enlargement:
Date: 2006-06-24 Distance: 1.368.986 km Filters: CL1 and IR3
Date: 2006-06-24 Distance: 1.416.632 km Filters: CL1 and CL2 Hence CASSINI is slowly diverging from Iapetus, really too bad that the 'Moat / Snowman' is now getting more and more visible at the right limb... Overview through the Solar System Simulator:
Btw., any news on those starfield images? Bye. |
