Apologies if this link has already been posted.
Just dropped by to make sure you texture-builder folks know about the new Saturnian Cartography page at CICLOPS.

Many thanks, Grant,

these maps look like really well done (unlike earlier attempts). I guess, I'll get going during the holidays and prepare them for Celestia. Would be a nice addition to 1.4.1 (that we have to release anyhow soon).

Thanks for the link. Some great pictures there
Gave me the idea to make new Saturn rings from the large ring shot.
Here it is:

I also have the promise of shape data for Phoebe from Peter Thomas at Cornell, but he hasn't got back in touch recently: busy guy, I imagine.

Boux,

looks nice but I can anticipate what Grant is goint to reply. .

The Saturn rings are tricky (Grant and I spent some time on
that challenge a while ago). Besides photographic imaging
you need separate information about the hires
transparency profile and that /independently/ of the
ring's reflective profile (that you /mainly/ get from
photographic imaging).

Tx Grant.

Thanks Grant, they are very impressives, and Thanks to Fridger to turn them on nice versions (Limit of Knowlegde or entire pseudo-maps) for the next Celestia. I didn't know Ciclops site: must I have to had it in the little 'Sites de r?©f?©rences pour les textures plan?©taires' (Planetary maps sites used for Celestia building) paragraph of the 'Contributeurs' (Contributors) page of my catalog? [BTW, you could tell me if i have missing (apologies for that) some other important addresses.... ] Jeam

Greetings,

Good to see the new maps from the CICLOPS website. I have also been making a few updates, most recently to my map of Rhea at this location:
http://laps.noaa.gov/albers/sos/sos.html#RHEA

I hope to make an update of Iapetus next week with an addition of one of the nighttime Saturn shine images. I also updated this within the past month or so with other recent flyby images.

I have the satshine in since the data are out essentially



About the only Cyclops update I did not like very much was
Iapetus. There was a global shift in longitude relative to
the pre-Cassini data which I had taken as a reference. It is
of course easy to correct for. But the rest is not so
thrilling, I am affraid.
