Here's a bit of something I have been working on for the last few months. I am making a high resolution photomosaic of 433 Eros. It will eventually go in the Planetary Data System.

This square image is part of the mosaic, hot off the press. It extends from approximately 60 north to 60 south, and 240 west longitude (right edge) to 360 (AKA 0) at the left edge. The original is 5000 pixels square. The projection is Simple Cylindrical. When finished the original will be 14400 by 7200 pixels.

I leave on Monday for a couple of weeks in the UK. When I get back I'll post a version of this with a grid, and the two polar sections I have also done.

I should add that in areas where this appears distorted (lower left region), this is caused by the extreme irregularity of Eros in this region.

I had a go myself with the net - and it's brilliant. It doesn't work too well with normal paper - but it does work smile.gif

Any chance of the CAD file being shared? The PDS release isn't the sort of thing that will drop into 3DS Max too easily ohmy.gif
