Also some view of Arabia Terra plus more on this "must see" video, whether or not you'll like the music associated (I did): http://nasawatch.com/archives/2009/11/todays-video-hi.html

Magnificent dunes, with extra added gully goodness!

In the spirit of HiRISE releasing some DTMs, I thought I'd put up a couple of shots of my recent attempts at making some of these monsters.

I made it using exactly the same method (hopefully!) as the USGS, so switching between ISIS and SocetSet. It was one of the first I made, so it's got some striping in the overlaid orthoimage, but not in the underlying DTM. The recent hiequal command in ISIS has got rid of that striping now, but I don't have images of that attempt with me at the moment.

Whole DTM:

I thought I'd put them up here seeing as there's some chat over in the img2png thread. I've got to say that even though I use them everyday in my job, I still have to pick my jaw off the floor on a regular basis - awesome camera!

ps Doug - think you could work some of your movie magic with this?

Wow, magnificent view (especially second image)!
I always regret, that processing of raw HiRISE images are beyond capabilities of my current computer and internet connection.

That's OK. As you know, there are plenty of wonderful views to discover in older data sets that are not so difficult for your computer!

Yes!
So much to do and so little time.
Thanks for NASA, ESA, JAXA, IKI (and others) and their archives!

Great work, pgrindrod !

the possibilities with those ultra-large, ultra-high precision data sets given to us by HiRISE are endless ...
It will take years and decades to fully realize the potential buried within this ocean of data



How true ...

Interesting. Part of this layer seems to have collapsed. Impact crater or gravity?

Almost looks like an impact into really friable sandstone, and then gravity took over.

Here's an interesting image of some Mars spires. Judging from the length of the long shadow near the center of the image, the spire casting that shadow must be between 30m high (assuming a sun elevation of 30 degrees) and 50m high (assuming the sun at 45 degree elevation). Must be quite a sight from ground level.
(Unfortunately, I did not take note of the image number, and now I can't find it anymore. I just took a screen grab. I think it was somewhere on the flank of one of the Martian volcanoes.)

Just from an aesthetic point of view, I find this image exceedingly beautiful:

When I start browsing HiRise images, I could keep on for hours.

Colourised view of gullies...

For those wondering, at some point, yes, I will be doing this

ADMIN OOPS!

Sorry Den.

Amazing image from Hellas.

Was it a lake at one time?

Wow... a natural "cairn" on Mars...
