QUOTE (hubdel11 @ May 1 2005, 05:40 AM) the DIRS have posted 2 new mosaics on their site : http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/%7Ekholso/Titan...3K_big_ster.jpg http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/%7Ekholso/Titan...Apr15_gnom_.png  I guess I've just been spoiled by the MERs and MGS, but I am disappointed in the quality of the images from Huygens. Why the very limited number of pixels per image -- was it a matter of the width of the comm pipe between Huygens and Cassini? Would it have cost that much more in terms of a weight penalty to build five or ten times more pixels into the camera system? Even in the late 80s, when Huygens was first developed, they could build higher-resolution cameras than they ended up using... I know there was fog and haze (more than expected), I know we lost half of the images... but the image encoding from the source has introduced so many artifacts it's really hard to analyze the images to anywhere near their theoretical resolution. Yes, there is a great deal of good information in the images and other data Huygens returned... but it's so tantalizingly close and yet so lacking in critical definition that I just want to tear my hair out... *sigh*... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
