Saturns Moon Epimetheus


The Cassini Space Probe takes another great image here, Saturns Moon "Epimetheus"

I put this together from Green, UV, and IR filters. To form
an RGB set. Which made this final composite colour image. i used UV as Blue, IR for Red, and .... *drum roll* Green for Green!

The enlarged crop of this image was produced by Andrew Brown ( 3488 From Space.Com Community. )

How "true" this colour image is, i have no idea. However, it does look quite natural, after some tweaking in Photoshop. Most importantly, it combines information from three different filters.

Image was taken on December 03, 2007 and received on Earth December 04, 2007. The camera was pointing toward EPIMETHEUS at approximately 36,696 kilometers away.
