I'm posting this also incase any other people are interested.

the first thing I would do is grab a directory listing for the pub/SPACE/GIF
directory at ames.arc.nasa.gov.  The last time I checked there were quite
a few gif files made from the raw images that retained the original filename.
That would give you a list to browse through.

As I've been browsing through the images, I kept a short notebook on images
I found interesting for one reason or another.  I don't have it here, but
until I do here are a few that I know of...

Io 1637538 enhance the upper right limb and you'll see an erupting volcano.
Jupiter 1630910
Europa 1631247

If anyone would like to compose a 'best of' list feel free to mail them
to me and I'll compile them into a list and post it.
