Interesting. I love seeing a new world being mapped 
It looks like your previos versions were more colorful. In fact, for my purpose I mixed your texture with the Ralph color map of published on the NASA photojournal

for sure!
yeah they were a bit more colourful. it didn't help that i mostly had black and white and false colour images to work with for the later maps. oh well, got to do with what we have i guess.

I hope you can download it, I had some trouble with google drive recently...
I processed it so that the albedo corresponds to the brightness. I'm using this for Celestia, hence the 180Β° offset. Also, It is more saturated, because my atmosphere definition in Celestia gives Pluto a bluish tint.

and that's understandable.

Oh, that's awesome! Totally awesome! It's fun to see the specific changes. You're smart to keep all your past versions of it.

thanks! = D and yeah i couldn't get rid of them, they were just so silly, certenly the first one, i hardly knew where anything went lol. it all got more clear with time though ^^

Well, I suppose that means you started from the ground up instead of in the middle. Which is good.

for sure = ) i was desperate to see how the first maps matched with the old Hubble ones. it was really hard to know what parts where what with the blur though.
