Last night I completed downloading about 38 new gif images from Peter Yee.
These images are from the Voyager CD Rom Collection. I picked a sample of
each of the major satellites and the planet itself. The images have the
names CXXXXXXX.gif . There is also a single image if Saturn in this set
which was done as a test. It has the same name format.

These images are all 800X800X256 greyscale. The average about 300K in size.
I am pleased with the conversions that Peter was able to do. The images are
fairly flat in contrast, so I will be enhancing each image to bring out the
interesting features. The companion image will have the same file name as
the original, but will have the form MXXXXXXX.gif . This should give everyone
an idea of what a raw picture, and some fundamental processing can do.

The images are available from iris1.ucis.dal.ca by anon ftp . Note that
there are restricted hours from 5pm EST to 6am EST so that the university
can use the machine :-} too.

Have a greyscale Christmas
