High!

Slowing advancing with my PoVSolar project (into which, some distant 
day, PoVEarth is intended to be integrated)... after finishing a basic 
version of Mars (still without surface relief, let alone atmosphere and 
clouds) and its moons, I'm currently working on the moons of the Jovian 
system, starting with the four innermost ones, Metis, Thebe, Adrastea 
and Amalthea.

The Deimos rendering is based on a topographic map made in 1997 by A. 

texture by Philip Stooke 
(http://www.solarviews.org/cap/mars/deimoscyl4.htm).

Amalthea was modeled after a topographic map also made in 1997 by A. 

its surface color from a Voyager 1 photo of the small moon.

Jupiter's texture is a simple cylindrical projection generated from a 

(http://www.mmedia.is/~bjj/data/jupiter_css/index.html).
