I'm on Firefox - so it's not the browser.

I'll chase it up tomorrow.

You seem to think that they'd avoid any chance of finding life. Believe me, nothing would interest the scientists more - and nothing would guarentee funding of missions in the future better than that.

I'd rather they got on with the mission in hand, and not waste time - astonishing valuable as it is - on inspecting statistically probable odd features.

And they didnt ' come up with a story '

They presented findings from scientific investigation.

Doug

You dont get


?

Thats most odd - because it is turned on in the forum, I'll go do some googling on it

Doug

Sensible thing is to do a 'levels' in Photoshop and eye-drop the middle grey off a spehrule.

I tried it, and you end up with an odd mixture

I've never pretended to try and make 'real' colour pictures - we just dont have the info to do that properly, so I dont think it's worth really trying.

I try to make my pictures as dynamic and feature-rich as possible, which often means not realistic.

Doug

Under the emoticons on a new post? I'll check the admin settings for it - but I'm fairly sure I had it turned on specifically for the purpose of people showing pictures

Infact - just checked the settings - upload is set to on for all members in all groups.

Doug

You can add images as attachments to posts in the forum

Doug

I make a panorama with the left eye grey scale using PTGui, then the same again using identical settings with the right eye images - and merge them in Photoshop afterwards - manually.

Beagle2 - the next generation: In conversation with Colin Pillinger

Monday 8 March 2004 at 7pm at The Royal Society, London or via the RS webcast.

Beagle 2 was the plucky little spaceship that people in Britain and across the world took to their hearts.

The dream of a successful Mars landing on Christmas Day 2003 may be over but project leader, Colin Pillinger remains undaunted.

Join him at the Royal Society as he discusses the scientific and emotional legacy of Beagle 2 and Mars Express and his plans for a new voyage to the Red Planet. Admission is FREE and on a first come, first served basis - no ticket or advance booking required.

You can also watch this special event live on the internet from www.royalsoc.ac.uk/live.

I'll be popping down from Leicester for sure. Anyone else planning on going - a Beagle 2 wake at the pub afterwards before I catch a 10:30ish train home?

All there in full apart from two bites out of the L3 for the left most frame of the three

I'll do a 456 pan of it all later - and I SHOULD ( if they're 1024 as well ) be able to simply replace the 456 image with your images and re-generate the panorama from PT Gui later

Doug

Not totally unexpected feature - especially with the main erosion being wind. The ball will have cast a 'wind shadow' where erosion couldnt take place, which has left it where it is.

Facinating little feature though - like a tiny version of some of the huge erosion feature you sometimes see in the rocky deserts of the US

Doug

www.msss.com is usually the best place to see any high res imagery from mars orbit (the MOC on MGS)

No luck as of yet - I'll be asking about it at a meeting in London at the Royal Society on Monday

Doug

A lot of conspiracy rubbish in a few of those places - and as i've said before, I'm not interested in ANY of that trash in this place. Posts edited / deleted appropriately. There are places to link to and discuss the halucinations of deluded conspiracy theorists. this is not one.


Doug

Probably not even blue, just an overspill of the colouring from the marsberry next to it.

There's strange stuff in there though - a couple of wiggly little features

Doug

The filters are not in place to make colour anaglyphs with MER - unless you swop the colours in your glasses

I dont rate any of the automated Anaglyph making programs. none of them do the subtle alligning of the images required - and few offer the different colours that I use on mine. I dont like to blow my own trumpet, but I've not seen anaglyphs as good as mine, apart from those by Dr Tim Parker with Pathfinder

Doug

Good stuff. Looks like they did a third image of that set - if you can do that one as well, I'll put them thru PTGui and whack a properly stitched pan out of it if you like

Doug

Took L2,5,7 with pancam - and overlayed onto a composite of two of the MI images of the second rat-target

Doug

Beagle 2 had a UV sensor that would have detected the actual shadow crossing over the landing site - not sure what similar caperbility they can use on the rovers, perhaps use solar array voltage. I think there's at least one Solar Cell specifically designed to be measured very carefully for degredation and dust deposition - perhaps it would be best polled for this info during eclipse.

Doug

I've emailed Steve Squires, Richard Cook and Justin Maki - no response of any sort though. Frankly - I'd imagine they're a little busy There's nothing I've done that they cant do a) Better ( because they have PROPER raw imagery) and Faster ( because they have tools specifically designed for it)

I did the same with NEAR decent imagery a long time ago on space.com - various stitched swathes of the imagery on the way down, it was very popular
