Where can I get the current unannotated maps of Saturn's moons?

Post #1by ILikeSaturn » 28.09.2020, 04:48

Before ciclops.org (Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for OperationS) was down, I used ciclops.org's maps to merge theirs with color maps. However the site is down for an indefinite time. Is there an alternative site or something to get the maps of Saturn's moons, unannotated? The reason why I need to find unannotated versions of them is that the annotated versions take time to crop them, and they're not offered in resized versions in other sites except for ciclops.org. I'm also not having the will to download a >100MB TIFF file. Anyway, here's a list of the current maps of Saturn's moons (except for Titan and Phoebe):
    Map of Mimas - June 2017
    Map of Enceladus - December 2011
    Map of Tethys - June 2012
    Map of Dione - December 2011
    Map of Rhea - March 2012
    (Map of Titan - December 2018)
    Map of Iapetus - May 2008
    (Map of Phoebe - December 2005, unannotated version not found)

Hold on, I managed to find them. I'm currently uploading them to Google Drive. I'll explain how I managed to get them. I may also release a version that contains all of the maps, cropped and resized into 4096x2048.

Added after 2 minutes 40 seconds:
Here's the list with the maps cached:
Note: Dione's map was ridiculously BIG.

Added after 7 minutes 53 seconds:
Alright, since I managed to upload all of the files, here is the Drive link: CICLOPS Maps
I will upload another link that contains the maps resized to 4096x2048 if I have time.

Added after 1 minute 23 seconds:
How I managed to get them? Well, I used the Wayback Machine, then I used a tool that doesn't force me to redirect to another link, and managed to download the maps. I will check if these are the actual map names and map resolution if I have time.

Added after 40 minutes 20 seconds:
Resized version: CICLOPS Maps Resized

Hello guys, I have news to tell you...
Spoiler
CICLOPS.ORG IS BACK!!!
Yes, it's back! Also don't worry about the BluIP thing, it was actually there right before it was down for maintenance.
