THanks to Ron Baalke for posting all thoe marvellous Magellan images to
ames.arc.nasa.gov    They really are great to see. If you have not seen
enough Magellan images to satisfy you, as I certainly have not, this is
a great way to get them. The display program IMDISP is simple and easy to
learn, but very nice on a VGA monitor. I particularly like the way you can
use batch files to prepare composites (including stereo pairs with some of
the Voyager images), mosaics and comparisons which can then be saved as
new images. Yes, Ron has done us all a great service here. If you have 
access to anonymous ftp I urge you to dip into his offerings.

If you have the latest magellan images, you might like to note that the two
images of Ovda Regio can be assembled as a mosaic - the north edge of 
ovdac.img touches the south edge of ovdan.img at their right-hand edges.
