Another tidbit from the release: an approx. natural color ring scan of the left ansa, consisting of 5 NAC RGB segments. This was taken a couple of days (Sep 7 IIRC) before the Iapetus encounter and shows a similar vantage point. There's also the right ansa data at the PDS, but it doesn't show as much interesting stuff (Mimas, Pan and Prometheus).

I am wondering how can I decode PDS ".img" file on my mac. I have OS 10.5.3 and before, on my old pc, I have found a Gimp plugin to read .IMG files. Gimp 2.4 run on OS 10.5, but, the plugin is not compiled and I don't know how to do . This is for Gimp, but, I imagine that there are other solution .
Doug : you are on a mac, how do you do? -------------------- |

I use a PC
Seriously - I do - img2png on my desktop PC machine. My MacBookPro is my 'life' machine (Email, calender, presentations, photos etc), my PC desktop is my 'power' machines (storage, PTGui, cold hard data, 3d rendering, Photoshop) Doug |

And now when I am at last ready to start large scale downloading Murphy's law strikes and I cannot access the PDS imaging node. I guess I'm not the only one...

I find that the PDS site is unavailable all too often. I'm not sure if it's a maintenance thing, but weekends usually seem to be iffy. Very annoying.

Mimas is posed perfectly, and Pan and Prometheus... just amazing. |

I just exchanged emails with some folks at the PDS. They know about the problem, has something to do with an expired something-or-other on a server so access isn't currently permitted; they hoped the problem would be resolved some time today.

Looks like they need a mission extension as well.
