This was an experiment done in an attempt to get a grip on the shape and identifiable surface features of a world that gets to be a whole box of rocks in itself (and keeps making me feel as dumb as one.) The ranges and resolutions vary widely, and it's more or less an effort to follow rotation crudely rather than being chronological. Hope it's somewhat useful and informative.
Perhaps the upcoming NT flyby in October will sharpen up some of these perspectives.
Below is a color-coded key with features tracked from frame to frame:

Thank you, Phil. SPUD is a marvelous acronym for these purposes. This all seems like a potential growth industry with so many newly (or better) imaged aspherical worlds to consider. Hyperion looks in this light to be the outstanding candidate next to Eros and Phobos for the clearest possible modelling of shape prior to the Dawn and Rosetta results in years to come.
Condolences for the loss of Mr. Simonelli. -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...
