Looks like ~65m from the tracking data.

This would mean we're very close to the dune, right? Can't wait to see Cape Tribulation over the dune rolleyes.gif

Just on the west side of it I think. Wrong side to see Cape Trib over it. The dune could be blocking the view of Cape York.

Waiting...

we have since moved considerably to the southeastern direction and the high part is now rather far to the left of the 'Cyclops' crater
That's a good point. That means the wide, flat piece of CY visible on the 2668 navcam has got to be the central part of CY. It is more visible than I'd've expected too, but that's good news!

Today probably we will not see anything. I think that again is problem with exploratorium.

There are some new pics on the main web site (http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/opportunity.html). But only 4 new Pancams (Stu viewed one above)

I think compressing Ant's panorama gives much more drama on the view of Endeavour.

(EDIT: Panorama added)

My version of the zoom on the blueberries blanket.

@Ant : I made my last Oppy image processing such a long time ago... It's good to be back here ! And as everyone, I can't wait to see what's below the horizon rolleyes.gif

Beautiful Ant. Looks like a change in anisotropy here after all these years.

A question: These roundish larger pebbles on top of the blueberries - many with circular pits in them - have we seen these before? I don't recall that we have...

If I read the map right, a tad over three hundred meters as the Martian bird (bat?) flies, probably more like half a km as the Oppy rolls.

In the sol 2668 blueberry picture, note not just the bimodal size distribution (often seen before), but the high proportion of pits in the big berries. Not sure what to make of that.

At Sol 2668 the nearest point of Cape York was just 311 meters away (direct to the east).
Direct distance to Spirit Point was 522 meters. All according to Google earth.
But we have driven again 65 m more since sol 2668.

Still can't believe we are so close now.

Another big drop in the horizon on 2670, and it wasn't even a long drive!
