© . . . . . . . Subject: JUPITER IMAGES - HELP
We are having a record year for beautiful high resolution images
of Jupiter...however, there is a really problem with the quantity and being
able to quickly examine and analyze what we are looking at....it may seem to be
a small problem at the front end, but when hundreds and hundreds of quality
images are received and processed daily by so many of us (which are tremendously appreciated always....) we really must remind folks of consistency in format.
I think those who welcome and review this images agree that we
really need some sort of standardization in image orientation if at all
possible.....south preferably should be up and "sky east" to the
right in all images for proper astronomical orientation for most computer
programs, sky charts and review programs.
At this time I am receiving images that sometimes have south up,
then north up.....sometimes mirror images as though they have been taken
through a diagonal attachment. Many of
these have NO indications of sky direction whatsoever; if you do not mark your
images with the cardinal points, then please orient with south UP, east RIGHT
if at all possible.
Although some old hands here might be pretty adept at picking up instantly
on what is what, it is very difficult to do direct comparisons of two or more
images if they are all in various stages of sky rotation.
Just a thought....I would like to hear from the rest of you out
there who use these images? Any thoughts on this?
We used to pretty much "demand" a standard orientation or
images were frequently rejected.
With the outstanding high res work being
submitted at this time, we need standardization to be fully efficient in our
analysis of the planet.
Please let me hear from you on this....
Thanks to all.
