Hi,
This is my first submission to the APOD as some friends told me to do it. Here is an animation made from pictures I processed from the New Horizons Lorri images taken between the 16th and 22nd June 2015. I posted it in the UMSF forum, here is a link to the discussion :

Some explanation of the post-processing pipe.
All images have been processed with IRIS from Christian Buil and the following sequence :
- registration of all 3 or 4 LORRI images from each date
- addition with min-max rejection
- x1.33 the levels for the days with only three photos available
- move the background level to 0
- deconvolution using Vancittert method, FWHM=2.3 and 4 iterations
- spline upscale by a factor of 4
- wavelet with factors 4, 2, 1.2 and a remain factor of 0.80
- save as BMP
Then
- rescale and rotation with Photoshop CS2 to fit the grid provided by Pluto Viewer (barycentric, viewed from New Horizons from 45000 km)
The animation :

Click to see the animation
Note that the animation dimensions have then been decreased by a factor of 2 otherwise it would have been too big to fit in most screens...
Enjoy !
