Venus from Venera 14 (camera 2)

"...These images are the original Russian digital images, with a little reprocessing. The original color images were darker and somewhat noisier than the b/w pictures scanned through the clear filter.
In this image, I combined the chroma signal from the color images with the luminance from the clear-filter images. The color chart, extended from the spacecraft was originally painted with gray, red, green and blue silicone enamel. On Venus, its color was shifted by effects of heat and pressure, and tinted by the orange sky. I adjusted the image colors slightly to match the calculated hues of the chart, but these pictures are not precisely color balanced..."
