Pluto!

[HighHo]

Put these  on facebook a couple of days ago but to anyone thats intrested:

Bored while on overtime so had a play with the new pluto data, stitched the images and adjusted the wavelets slightly and colorised the 0.2M km image.

FB resizes the images so have uploaded the full size images here:
http://176.126.241.47/pano8c.png - 0.2M km
http://176.126.241.47/pano10.png - 0.1M km

The raw images from NASA can found here: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/index.php

Has the bright spot at '7 o Clock' on the full disc image been identified ?

Not to sure which bit you mean Jabeoo, The following page has some awesome newer images and theories on the geology etc: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhorizons/main/index.html

Thank you for this! I've been waiting for this to be published. Looks to be more than worth the wait. And your work on the two combined images is most impressive!

Keep going!

Sorry, I was a bit vague.  Its not a spot on the limb or disc its in the blackness of space in your 1st image in your original post.  

Moon? Hot pixel?  Or more distant star or Planet ?

I have zoomed in, cut the section out and added it here:

There are a few about when you start looking, 100% guess but I would think stars (or maybe ufos)!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Unbelievable achievement of human's desire to explore the unknown. I've been following this mission for some time now and it is truly breathtaking. Here is another spectacular view from that distant world:

found another one! wonder what it is. ~9 o' clock on the photo

[HighHo]

My guess is still on stars, there's a couple at around 2 and 5 o' clock also. The reason I don’t think they are moons or possible planetary objects is im sure someone at NASA would have been delighted to have highlighted them, they could of course be something boring like hot pixels etc but dont match position.  Its a shame stellarium cant give you a view from a different point in space.
