COLOR_raw.ps 
COLOR_raw.jpg
COLOR_raw.tif          >>> these files are each just raw color
                           images of the press release image
                           there are NO graphics, and the quality
                           is HIGH for all formats.


COLOR_simple.ps
COLOR_simple.jpg      >>> here we have added the the moon's orbit
                          as a result of this added graphic the
                          postscript file (.ps) has HIGH image 
                          quality but the .jpg (JPEG) is of lower
                          (but still OK) quality.



COLOR_labels.ps
COLOR_labels.jpg      >>> here we added TEXT to the figure. The
                          postscript quality is HIGH. The JPEG
                          quality is lower.

COLOR_labels_caption.ps >>> here we have added the figure caption 
                           as well. Quality is HIGH.

discovery.jpg    >>> are the "raw" (i.e. not image-processed)
discovery.ps         images from which the discovery was made
                     on Nov 1 1998.  Shows primary asteroid,
                     with satellite (white blob to upper left
                     at about 10:30 position)

large_scale.gif     (gif is image only, no caption)
large_scale.ps  >>>  this is a larger scale view from which the
                      "COLOR" blowups above is taken -- mostly
                      useful as an artistic view of the data --
                      the large "cross" is an optical artifact
                      of the telescope 

----------------------------------------------------------------

the files from Nov1 to Nov10_color.jpg are color images of each of the
individual nights. Quality is HIGH. (no text or graphics are included)

movie.gif    >>>  this is a gif animation of the orbit
