In Sep. 1992, the Magellan spacecraft filled the final large gap in its coverage of Venus when it imaged an area west of Alpha Regio. F-BIDR's and some test MIDR's of parts of this area were available as of late December. Dione Regio was imaged by the Arecibo observatory and a preliminary investigation of Magellan images supports the interpretations made based on these earlier images: Dione Regio is a regional highland on which is superposed three large, very distinct volcanic edifices. The superior resolution and different viewing geometry of the Magellan images also clarified some uncertainties and revealed fascinating details about this region.
