Details:
Some special Cosmos-482 (intened Venera landing capsule) image processings from the session on June 26, 2014. I think it's cool to still publish them. Images processsed in 2019 but never published at the time because I was not sure about the 'tail' detail - the elongated detail that seems attached to the descent craft. But the confirmation of this observation (and earlier ones in 2011) came finally in 2024 (see the previous analyses).
At the same time I found back the pass data from this 2014 session so I put it on the images. With a range of 272 km, this is the closest observation of the object I did.
