Wow, the next days will be fantastic. Is there any possibility to make a full view of Endeavour now, from the north rim to the south rim?
@Stu, Ant: Fantastic panoramas ... thx. @ustrax: Nice to hear from you again. Are we there yet? -------------------- Need more input ...

QUOTE (fredk @ Jul 18 2011, 09:51 PM) Some cool new features appearing on Tribulation now .. Didn't someone realized the new view of Cape tribulation? Currently we see the Cape Tribulation as 'pyramid', but where's Cape Byron, Cape Dromedary, Point Hicks? I think they are hidden through the Cape Tribulation, or are they now visible left from the cape in Fred's picture? Here was the view from Sol 2239, all capes are ordered from left to right.  -------------------- Need more input ...

OK so when I said I didn't need to rush to do my own version I meant it. However for some inexplicable reason 40 minutes later I'm now posting one.
 I'm addicted!  James -------------------- |

Fantastic, Stu & Ant!
And when I think that this is just a preview of the panorama that should open in a couple of days... Wow! @James: We can't live without it, can we?  BTW, there's another driving planned thisol 2660. That's music to my ears. Images should be avail. around 13:35 UTC. |

Here is a Google earth file with all named object of the Endeavour crater (from which I know).
Maybe helping us identifying structures of the new pictures.

And continuing with the driving theme, I guess it will be minimum 90m (*). There's a "mid-drive" navcam shot planned at 252deg. and the only "relevant" feature I can find with that heading on the current path is that small crater highlighted here on the map.
(*) Perhaps Scott may tweet a more precise figure... |

QUOTE (MoreInput @ Jul 18 2011, 10:33 PM) Currently we see the Cape Tribulation as 'pyramid', but where's Cape Byron, Cape Dromedary, Point Hicks? I think the full length of the straight ridge including Tribulation and Byron is hidden behind the near end of Tribulation (the "pyramid"). I think Dromedary and Hicks are now visible as the two bumps to the left of Tribulation. Iazu is hazier and farther to the left.Interestingly, it seems we still can't see Solander point which is between us and Tribulation. Once we drop a bit, that should pop into view. |

That a good work KrisK
Keep sharing pictures like that !I've made this picture from the navcams. Reprojected so it looks like it have been taken with a reflex camera with a 10-20 mm lens (I love this kind of lenses).

New pictures are already available and the near horizon is dropping significantly. Compare this fresh navcam image with a similar one taken from the previous site, 120m behind.
