Astronomical Illustrations

These illustratioins were made in preparation for our exhibit hall renovations taking place in 2004 and 2005. Software consisted of Bryce 5 and Paint Shop Pro. For the images of Pluto and Charon, I used maps of Callisto, Tethys (credit: David Seal) in addition to albedo maps of Pluto and Charon. If you would like to use these images I can provide higher resolution files upon request.
