Impact site in polar view

I constructed a polar view and overhead view of the impact site from RGB July 22 images. This should allow for a less distorted view of the debris field.

Nice work Zac, great to see some more images from you.

Hans-Joerg Mettig also put together these polar projections:

Thanks Zac, lovely image. What software are you using for this?

cheers, Bird

Thanks. I use Photoshop CS2. It has a filter called 3D render. I don't think this filter is available in all versions of Photoshop. It isn't too hard to figure out though.

Most interesting perspective Zac,

A nice job and totally different view of the evolving structure of the impact region.
