Summary edit

Description

Thanks to those of you who made suggestions, I have reprocessed this to incorporate them. It uses 5 MAP points, a more precise RGB toe-point, a slight histogram stretch to brighten it and intensify the color (white point only), a very skinny S-curve applied to gamma, and a small unsharp mask in Photoshop.

The scope was the historic Otto Struve 82" Telescope at The University of Texas' McDonald Observatory, Ft. Davis, Texas.

This was Astronomy Magazine's online Photo of the Day on November 28, 2006:

Wow. Now NASA/JPL has it online! soc.jpl.nasa.gov/viewing.cfm

JPL has since used it in a press release and another online composite for their Saturn Observation Campaign 2007.

Blogged by C|Net, alongside two NASA photos (from Hubble and Spitzer orbiting telescopes!): news.com.com/2300-11397_3-6159390-3.html?tag=ne.gall.pg

PhysOrg.com lists it here: www.physorg.com/multimedia/pix478/

It accompanies a very nice Cassini spacecraft mission article with audio commentary on Scientific Frontline, here: www.sflorg.com/control_room/cassini.html

NASA/JPL used it again (April 2007) in a PodCast at: www.jpl.nasa.gov/videos/whatsup/whatsup20070405/

First of my photos to hit 800 views (February 14, 2007) -- 1,000 views (March 26, 2007) -- 1,200 views (May 12, 2007) -- 1,500 views (July 21, 2007) -- 1,750 (August 12, 2007).
