the Huygens definitely a massive feat, but I struggled to interpret the scale and fov I was looking at - from memory is was a pretty extreme fish eye lens used. the atmosphere gave the impression of a thick soupy feeling - too bad the secondary camera failed on descent.

Well, according to Emily's post, the best single frame LORRI image of Pluto should be down by tomorrow night, though it doesn't look like there will be corresponding colour data until the main downlink starts in a couple of months. I'm sure there will be some other colour images before then and I'm sure someone will hack the last colour images about to colourise the LORRI image.
I think the Huygens video you're thinking of was the compilation video showing all the images taken during the descent. It was done in an extreme fisheye view but that's not how the images were taken. That was an awesome video though - been a while since I've watched it so it might be time for another viewing
