Trevor - quite right. I'm one of them  |
Hope you don't mind my input on this point Troy.
Mike, when you open WinJupos, from the
Program menu select Celestial Object > Mars.
From the
Recording menu > Image Measurement.
Open your image and fill in the fields for the image and observer then proceed with the orientation, alignment and size adjustment for the outline frame just as you would have previously done for Jupiter.
From the
Pos menu click on any feature within the image to read off the Long and Lat for that object. This is very handy for positive ID of features within the image and more accurate than Mars Previewer II, which is really just a rough guide.
Just as previously with Jupiter, it is possible to, from the
Analysis menu, go to Map Computation, where various different projections can be created from your image.
On the ALPO Mars site is a very nice hi res Mars Map produced by Damian Peach with WinJUPOS. Recall that it was possible to produce very hi res images for Jupiter in 2009 and that very high res detail looked good in the various projection modes available in WinJUPOS.
For us in OZ the low alt of Mars really detracts from the resolution compared with imagers in the Northern Hemisphere and the projections that WinJUPOS is capable of really require very high res data to work well.
