About this image

Colleagues involved with the Jupiter section will be aware that Tom Williams has invented a way to merge IR and colour data for Jupiter without the IR data changing the colour tones - a common problem, particularly for the GRS. Since then Geof Lewis has also found a methodology that works. Following on from Geof and using his handy tip for overriding the de-rotation time in WinJUPOS I have managed to find a way to do this using Corel Paint Shop Pro with WinJUPOS. These are my first results from a good set of data on 5th January. This is for any interest or comment. I will post the 'official' images later.
