interesting how they say " the processing"  shouldn't the enthusiasts simply be able to access the RAW images just as in the HAZ cam raw images??  they can process the ones for the media, but why no direct raw images?????

If it is anything like other astronomical photography, the original data files are gigabytes and require specialized tools (and understanding) to interpret properly.

Not that this matters to conspiracy-seekers.  They thrive on uncorrected digital noise and drop-outs.  Heck...they even see buildings and cities in the edges of MCU blocks on a multiply-compressed JPEG.

Here's a photo I was able to get... Terrible resolution. Still cannot believe a machine of this magnitude is taking shit photos like this. A digital camera from 1999 could take a better shot than this... WTF.
