At last I've been able to do something I have tried to do for quite a few years now - find the full resolution digital Viking 2 panoramas. Viking 1 pans are on the Photojournal. Viking 2 pans were not. But I found them by luck and persistence, on CD-ROMs in PDS.
Go to: http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/vl1_vl2-m-...2012_sddpt/fns/ and the full pans are in the directories numbered 19 to 24. Earlier directories contain the same pans in sections. This file: http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/vl1_vl2-m-...ex/rng_info.txt is an index to the CD contents. The files are not in a convenient format - presumably they are VICAR format, but without headers. By trial and error I got the file sizes and opened them as raw images in Photoshop. The full-length pans are 8570 pixels by about 1800. Some postings will follow. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I made a composite of the panoramas, using one as a base and parts of the others to fill the missing horizon segment and areas hidden by masts etc. Then I made a polar version of the composite panorama. Here it is:
This is rotated a bit clockwise from north at the top. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
