Some T76 wide angle camera images of S Senkyo have returned today. Below is a comparison of pre storm and current appearance of the region primarily showing residual albedo bright spots and slight darkening of what used to be more uniform albedo. Although taken closer in the WAC photo (right) is still of lesser resolution than that of the NAC on left.

T 76 ISS NAC image N00117410 from 5/9/2011 nicely portrays the now familiar shapes in western Senkyo. The intriguing 'White Rabbit' shape and its surroundings are shown in the cropped CL1 CB3 filtered image overlayed with SAR radar swath from T 23. The appearance (to myself at least) may represent an older impact crater wall breeched by channel systems. Radar scatterometry may show a smoother crater floor deposit and ISS and VIMS brown units show the area to be surrounded by dunes.
