Well, friends....
after
three days of hard graphics work...
halleluja...I am done with Titan 2009!
This texture, my recent Enceladus texture
http://forum.celestialmatters.org/viewtopic.php?t=300
and many other highest quality textures in preparation will be part of
Celestia.Sci, which I am working on with great pleasure...
Celestia.Sci will also feature a new scientific-level data base with online ftp upgrading and supporting code, like an instantaneous catalog loader/unloader...
and many other features.
Once sufficient new material has accumulated, I'll of course explain in detail
what Celestia.Sci is meant to be...
Back to Titan...
------------------
While I was a bit pessimistic during the extremely tedious image processing work, I now think in full modesty

that my Titan texture has turned out pretty well...
Here is the final show... take your seats

:
Before flashing some nice screenshots, let me mention that I have also been in contact with
'volcanopele@shatters.net' who actually did the Ciclops Titan map of Feb 26 2009.
After some discussion about why his map exhibited such poor tone matching between adjacent mosaic boundaries...I might get from him a "work in progress map" with considerably improved the tone matching...
While waiting, here we go...
Enjoy,
Fridger

The first three images display 1/3 each of my final simple cylindrical Titan map, reduced by a factor of TWO. Ordering is from left to right:
The next three images are Celestia screenshots from various angles. Atmosphere and the orange haze have been turned off.
Check for the fine detail!
