Hey there - it has been a while ("You last visited: 24th of June 2010 (Thu) at 08:41") since I've done any personal photography or digital editing, but I've taken on a project: Reconstructing a favourite scene in colour, from the Voyager images.

Here (external link) is the final processed scene, as stitched a few years ago by persons unknown, which I am using as a guide. I'm currently working on aligning the raw images as-is, by hand, in Photoshop, to help give me a feel for the mountain of work ahead of me in doing this. I've put out tentative feelers to members of the old Voyager imaging team, and the current Cassini CICLOPS team, to ask for advice, but in the meanwhile I'm genuinely curious to see if anyone else has gone down this path. :)

For the curious, here is my own effort from tonight:

This is an interesting project. I can tell you from direct experience that NASA is swimming in unprocessed pictures. Some of the best images from the Lunar Reconaasaince Orbiter are being assembled from raw images by an amateur, and you can see them online at LPOD.

You might try working with Cassini images, there's a steady stream of those coming back these days.

Assembling these things by hand is way more accurate than trusting some stitching programme to do it. When its just a quick snapshot, then let the software do it, but a complicated assembly like this, I'd be doing it all myself.

Are these only monochrome, do you have any colour information?
