Hello Ron. What a cool color picture that is. Is there a possibility in the near future of a color print being published that a person could purchase? I for one would like to have one! Thanks for all the info that you provide to us! Dave

Wow! This is a much more convincing photo. Is there a HiRez color closeup? In this image, you don't see the facets and ridges so clearly as in the earlier one. Most interesting... Nick At 06:29 PM 1/19/2005, Dave Schultz wrote: Hello Ron. What a cool color picture that is. Is there a

I doubt that NASA has a higer-resolution version of the photo than they are releasing to the public. Why not simply send the photo to one of the many photo printing services on the internet (like www.dotphoto.com, www.shutterfly.com, and www.clubphoto.com) and buy a print from them? Or even take

I have no trouble capturing, printing, editing any size photo in PhotoShop. I'd just like to see a color image with the resolution of the first BW image. I'd like to see it in the resolution they receive it in. It's likely that the ones released for public consumption are lower Rez. Are they? Nick

Hi, Assumption one is wrong. Basically, the PanCam is just about as good a camera as the $19.95 Samsung Digital Point'N'Shoot dangling from the discount store rack. The image is 512x512 by 32 bits deep (I presume) and that's your one megapixel. If everyone chips in for the ticket,
