| Solaris, is the second picture in true colors? Because if it is it means that the atmosphere is bluish like I always imagined 
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

| The second picture makes pluto look really tiny! The mountains almost looks like rocks on a beach.

| Salvo, it have been colorized with global MVIC data, so I guess it is similar to true color, but the hue of the haze is a rough approximation. According to John Spencer (NH's team member) :
Quote this was a single channel image (we wouldn't have held out on you if we'd had color!). Several of our closest MVIC images were b/w rather than color, because of limited time near closest approach- we can take B/W images faster than color ones, and they allow higher-res LORRI riders. We still don't know what color the haze is, though we'll have lower-resolution high-phase color images soon, which will answer that question.

Oh yes I do

| Franz, your Pluto texture was actually used in Universe Sandbox. Do you think that your textures of Pluto and Charon may eventually become default textures in future versions of Space Engine?

| New high resolution photos of Charon
Along the canyon it seems came off a huge block of crust of the north hemisphere that now sinks into the ground of the southern hemisphere!
Sorry for my English! ;)

| I attempted to make true-color edits of the latest Charon and Pluto enhanced color mosaics. Charon turned out better than Pluto IMO, but for a quick attempt I'm happy with both. Click for full res.

| Franz, what bump height values do you use? I'm trying to make normal maps of your textures for use in Celestia, although I don't know which would be the best values to use. 
Specs: Dell Inspiron 5547 (Laptop); 8 gigabytes of RAM; Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz; Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (That's all there is :( )
