After much fiddling and trying, I think I have pulled some night side coverage out of Voyager data. I have uploaded a composite version, as well as a crop of the best single frame by itself.

You constantly amaze me with detail you are able to coax out of this 20-year-old data. Well Done.
I’ve been playing with the Voyager Neptune raw data. I honestly believe there is a lot of night side detail visible on Triton. Have you noticed this in the post encounter data? |

Yes, I posted on that a while back....There is a lot of detail visible on the receding side...I really need to do some more work on those images. Here is some stuff I posted a while back....
Due to smearing and/or underexposure, combined with the fact that the geometry was bad for night-side imaging during the time when Voyager was closest, this was the best I could pull for night-side imagery.

Astonishing, you can recognize two different terrain types (dark & bright) like in this image:
Makes we wonder where the poles are in your 'Tritonshine' image? Bye. |
