Derain_quadrangle_area_MESSENGER_WAC_IGF_to_RGB.jpg

Summary

Description	English: Oblique, exaggerated color composite showing much of the Derain quadrangle area on Mercury, with approximate north near center. Derain crater and Berkel crater (within Ellington) are at upper left, and Holst and Nabokov craters are at lower right. Approximate color representation combining three images acquired by MESSENGER Wide Angle Camera (EW1004038139I, EW1004038143F, EW1004038159G) with I (996.2 nm), G (748.7 nm), and F (433.2 nm) filters. Combined in GIMP software as RGB (Red-Green-Blue). Statistics for I image: Max Emission Angle: 84.96423689168 Max Incidence Angle: 68.023079434699 Max Phase Angle: 82.152965186197 Mean Ground Resolution: 1703.258961599 Min Emission Angle: 18.141850866868 Min Incidence Angle: 8.1078181960101 Min Phase Angle: 73.007692562635
