I believe Stu's referring to the crater in the foreground (but still far away) in that image, not the crater on the far rim hill. I don't think we settled on a name for that far rim crater. (Maybe "Far rim crater"?)

Anyway, far rim crater isn't visible in Ant's pan, it's off to the left. If you're wondering about the dark smudge on the distant hills, that's a "cape" sticking out of the ejecta shield around distant Iazu - the rightmost upper yellow line in James's matchup.

I think Brad's referring to the crater I refer to as Cyclops. That big well-defined eye on the far rim that's been watching Opportunity on her journey to Endeavor.

Cyclops! - That's a great name!

This might help clear things up, Brad...

Endeavor approach milestones:

- Rim peaks first spotted over horizon
- Opportunity moving down slope over divide
- Crater interior first seen
- Cape York first spotted
- Cape York terrace reached
- Clays accessible with instruments

BTW, 'arrival' will occur when the new thread is started.

Ready to get down to work...

Almost! What you labeled "Byron" should be "Dromedary", and your "Dromedary" should be "Hicks".

BTW, the lone peak on the south rim is called "Batavia", and we're seeing Iazu through the "Torres Strait".

Edit: A picture is worth how many words?

The MER team seem to be viewing "arrival" as reaching Spirit Point. That seems as good a milestone as any.

Question about the labeled pan: Why does Solander Point not show up in the image? Is it another low-lying hillock like Cape York? It looks much more pronounced to me in the satellite imagery. Is that little bump in the center of the image a part of it?

I would be remiss not throw in a comment or two here about by own enthusiasm as we approach Endeavour. It truly is astounding. When I think back to that announcement in September 2008 that Opportunity would be embarking on yet another journey that would require nearly tripling her odometry, I hardly dared hope it was possible. Of course I did hope, and the excitement about beginning that journey has only been trumped by the excitement of arrival. There were moments when the obstacles seemed too many: the wheel troubles around Kasos and Absecon, adding 3km to the trip to head west, the doldrums of the solstice and the PMA fault. But here we are on the doorstep. It truly is a credit to humanity, to the the creativity, resourcefulness, and perseverance of all involved, that the culmination of the journey is at hand.

Anyone wanting to debate the sol on which we 'arrive' at Cape York....please go away and find another forum.

At some point there will be a new thread. Anyone who actually cares when that is or what it means....probably should seek urgent therapy.

Thanks Fred, I wasn't sure myself, hence the question marks.

And yes, that picture is worth a thousand words, but since that picture was made the viewing angle has changed and we've lost some of the SW hills from view due to foreshortening, making it a bit harder, I think, to ID those features.

I think it is visible, but quite subtle - check out this post.

Thanks, Fred! I think I see it now; it blends in well with Cape Tribulation. I was clearly looking too far to the left. Thanks to all you map-makers and landmark finders for helping people like me get our bearings.

Wan't to know how the rover planning day was for this drive? http://opportunityendeavour.blogspot.com/ from Matt Lenda.

Gives us nice insights what is going up on earth to push the rover on Mars.

Best statement:
"Oh, by the way, our updated Crumpler Countdown is: 0.50km, 97.8%"
