Having a look at the sequence of pictures taken in every flyby feels like skydiving with an action camera... Well, that's exactly what JunoCam is, isn't it?

Starting from the "map projected" version available at the mission website (see "Link to TIFF/FITS", but it is really a PNG though), I did some processing with PixInsight: deconvolution, wavelet transforms for structure enhancement and noise reduction, pixelmath for limb darkening and curves for toning.  

Hope you like the result.
