Saturn texture with Cassini data?
Hello, I remember seeing a post made by John van Vliet or someone else, probably in forum.celestialmatters.org, and it was about them making a north polar map of Saturn from real Cassini data (even with the hexagon storm! I don't know what program they used, maybe USGS's ISIS.), then converting it to cylindrical projection in which they blended it with another Saturn map. The polar map was colored gray. I also wonder what the south polar map of Saturn looks like

Wow, that looks so amazing! I have a LOT of questions:
#1: What program did you use to make them?
#2: Where can I get the data?
#3: How long did that take to compile the map?
Also, can you try to compile a map similar to Bjorn Jonsson that he made recently with Cassini images from 2013-06-27? Heres the HD Version: Bjorn Jonsson's Saturn Map
Sorry if it probably takes more than an hour to compile them. I don't care if they're grayish or not.
