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:
