Many thanks for that clipka. I thought a warp might do it, but I just 
couldn't find anything in the documentation about how warp{cylindrical} 
worked and/or the parameters.

Your assumption is correct. the images are vertical bars...  Now all I need 
to do is figure out how to combine the three images I have, colour, 
transparency and albedo together!
