Example images with IR2. a A 2.26-μm night-side image (March 25, 2016), exhibiting complex atmospheric dynamics. The black triangle in the upper-left corner includes “negative” pixels after subtraction of a synthetic dayside image to remove the contamination. b A 2.26-μm night-side image (April 15, 2016), showing an unusually sharp contrast boundary and a fine structure. (See text for the explanation of the intensity profile.) c A 2.02-μm dayside image (May 17, 2016), showing topography-originated (Beta Regio) cloud features. Many fainter features are seen in parallel to the main feature. d Deconvolved version of c
