The Cassini craft has been in the field for quite a while as well. New Horizons launched in 06 and won’t reach its destination till 2015

There is a lot of material for these in the raw image gallery that they don't publish for some reason. I paid for a download of PTgui, which does a comparable job, and I can pick my subjects. Hate to say it but I missed this one! Note they have given it the "way-it-would-look-on-earth" treatment, which kind of baffles me. If you look at the Sol 106 Mastcam raw image gallery you will see the natural appearance. I read a comment from JPL saying that although they couldn't guarantee exactly how it would appear if you were there, the raw images are the way it would appear if you took cellphone pictures of it, because it is essentially the same technology.
