My version of Cabo Anonimo from Cape Desire.



James

More amazing stuff , thanks a lot Ian.

James

Here is my Cabo Corrientes/Bahia Blanca.



I've gone for a 'less red' look than usual, not sure what I prefer, hmm.

James

Heck I'd better get onto it then!

James

Interesting information and thread over at nasaspaceflight.com

They also have an image from a webcam on Odyssey *after* the event (doesn't show much, but shows it's still there!)

They also have a better quality video (you need to be registered)

James

What would be real cool is if simultaneous observations could be done with HiRISE and Hubble to get stereo images of the outer planets.

James

They are at quite low resolution, but past episodes of The Sky at Night can be viewed here. They are usually posted a couple of weeks after airing in the UK.

James

I agree, I think the route map is better without them.

Note that I have been keeping my Victoria feature names map updated with all known cape, bay and other (resolved in HiRISE) features as a complement to the route map.

Here is that latest:




James

WFC = Wide Field Channel (of ACS - busted)
SBC = Solar Blind Channel ((possibly) the only channel of ACS still working)
UDF = Ultra Deep Field?

James

EDIT: and you didn't mention: HRC = High-Resolution Channel (also gone)

Wow, real interesting to hear your stories.



I was just 8 and for Christmas I had just received one of my first serious books on space, it was called 'Exploring Space' and the front cover had a previous Challenger launch photo on it. Such an optimistic book with a shuttle on the front that was going to do all these great things, how quickly it all changed. The book, with my 6 year old sisters 'Christmas 1985' message inside, is one of my most treasured possessions to this day.

And for those of you that like mind bending super-long-baseline anaglyph's. Here is one using the images from 1067 and 1071.



James

As we move out onto Cape Desire it looks like the focus is on the next bay, Bahia Blanca. Posts from the last few sols moved to a new thread for this bay.

Here is a long baseline anaglyph from the navcams taken at the 1069 and 1071 positions.



And here is my version of the 1071 view of Bahia Blanca (full resolution)



James

So do I.

What I would be happy with is if the Bahia Blanca mosaic could be extended to the Soup Dragon. That would be a fabulous image with Hoy, all those big fallen rocks, the next few capes and the Dragon herself.

James

Just had to say that this: 1P222914526EFF78PAP2357L2M1 has got to be one of my favorite raw images so far. I hope we get a decent pan from Cape Desire.

That is totally awesome! Great work, hard to believe that's your first!

I wish I had time to play with Cassini images, but I see there is no need anyway with all the great stuff being done by you lot

James

I think the first digit is '1' for everybody so thats only really 0.16 million.

Dan, I think the consensus now is that that 'track' is an artifact not a real DD track.

Looks like nprev wins the pool.

Too much light here in Sydney to see the faint stuff. I just wish I had the chance to get out of the city. Still, can't complain it's still totally awesome!

Here's my best shot, we could see a little more with the naked eye.





Indeed. This was my view of it:



McNaught on the left, Venus on the right and the moon just above the city.

1064 it is.

Maybe it won't *look* very impressive, but the *idea* of seeing a comet at all from the surface of Mars is VERY impressive (to me anyway).

Ah sorry about that, it seems I was even more confused than I realized! I assumed that the images that came down were from the long baseline sequence - and they are clearly from after the drive. But those are in fact the "drive direction" images (I hope they don't!). Still, they made for a good *very* long baseline image.

James

Saw it again last night, even though we lost it into cloud half an hour before it set and Sydney was quite hazy (not least from bush fires!) we could see at least 7 degrees of tail with the naked eye, incredible! Just me and 'science educator' Karl up at the Gap, he kept saying "We are SO lucky" I couldn't agree more! I just hope the weather holds for tonight now...

James

I probably should have been clearer. What I meant was *I* had to distort the images quite a bit to make a working anaglyph, removing the need for all of you lot to distort your minds too much.

Glad you enjoyed it.
