Hi Everyone,

Shortly after the press release came out I put up both an almost full frame colorized version of the MGS MOC narrow angle camera view of the crater gullies along with a  wallpaper sized version of the gullies closeup shown with the press release.

The URL for the graphic and associated article is:

On to Mars.

Hi Rxke,

I had recently seen a telescopic daguerreotype of the Moon ...

:shock:  Whoa! That's quite a technical feat, IMO... Was it a historical picture, or was it made recently? I can imagine someone doing it today, with a good telescope and trackinghardware, but it seems...

The picture was made at the Harvard College Observatory. The date was 1852. All this is explained in the article that goes with my picture, along with a link to the web page containing the picture itself. The URL is http://www.marsartgallery.com/o_phobos.html



Best Regards, Jim

Hi Cindy,

@Cindy: click the image itself for more info on it.

*I figured it was an artistic license situation (I could go into detail explaining why I didn't initially click on the image, but we don't want to go off-topic...hectic day/cooler's broken and it's 98 F in this room/waiting for delivery, etc., etc...).  I am up on space exploration history; it had to be that (artistic license) or else a major typo in date and probe name.

I do see some items I definitely like, though.  smile

--Cindy

It's all explained at http://www.marsartgallery.com/o_phobos.html .
Being a fan of SF  and old photography, this seemed to be a nice experiment. Plus I don't recall having seen anything like this done previously.

I'm glad you saw some things you like. I have  posted wallpapers of most everything for free.

While I do provide accurate representations of a couple images, most have been either enhanced to accent their artistic quality or  used as a starting point for a purely artistic image.

Best Regards, Jim   http://www.marsartgallery.com

Hi Cindy,

Sorry abou the delay in responding but  things have been hectic of late.

*Welcome to New Mars. 

Interesting site.

Columbiad IIs First Daguerreotype of Phobos
An imagined view of Phobos as taken by a spacecraft in the 1800's

 

???  Say what?

--Cindy


I was attempting to create an image that would look like a daguerreotype. I had recently seen a telescopic daguerreotype of the Moon  so I decided to do some revisionist history.  Curiously, I have two versions of that same MGS image of Phobos on my site -- neither of which is meant to be a scientifically accurate rendition.

Thanks for visiting.
