Jenn's 16.280 Project
Raw Images


*Note: all images are presented with North up and West to the right and have a Field of View of 3.6 by 4.7 arcminutes. They were displayed with the colour setting 'cool' in SAO image
as it showed the detail in the raw images best and then printed to postscript in black and white.
