Something that's apparent in the neo66's Pancam anaglyph is how the foreground bedrock is higher on the left-hand side. Comparing to the HiRise images, that's clearly the raised "collar" around Cape York's "moat". Maybe we'll head up there and take a look...

QUOTE (john_s @ Aug 5 2011, 05:17 PM)  I want to see if South Promontory / Botany Bay Island is distinguishable in stereo (though it's probably still too far away). Not exactly slap-across-the-face obvious yet, but it's there...

Thanks Stu! Yes, it does seem like the stereo helps to pull the promontory out from the background, though maybe it's just my imagination. I hope we get some Pancams in that direction soon.

QUOTE (neo56 @ Aug 5 2011, 05:09 PM) Here is the anaglyph... The 3D gives pretty well the feeling of being in front of a huge basin. Absolutely - that's a stunning anaglyph! The terrain does look rough, but still tame compared with the sea of dunes we crossed to get here.Thanks to everyone for the spectacular mosaics and animations - and congratulations to the team for getting us, backseat drivers and all, to this impossible destination. |

A little late, but here's my anaglyph version of the 2676 Navcam pan. Beware the seams between images are flawed, as per usual. But still, I think I can make out Cape York in 3D - neat!

QUOTE (MoreInput @ Aug 3 2011, 12:47 PM) Here's the map for sol 2764, not as accurate as Tesh maps, but I hope good enough for us to see, where Oppy is. EDIT: Google Earth says 257 meters in direct line to Spirit Point... Seriously, who would have thought we would get this close and still be straining to see bits and pieces of Cape York in the pans? Certainly not me

Certainly not me I know; last night when people were labeling where it is, I thought they were nuts. No offense, because they were right, as far as I can tell. Adding: That boulder is right on top of it. Who knew? |

@mhoward : your navcam anaglyph really helps to see how close Cape York and Spirit Point are compared to the faraway hill.

Not a complaint, but an observation that says something about us UMSF'rs: it's interesting to compare the number of "Hey! Lookit my picture" posts about Endeavor in the past two days as compared to he paucity of posts and "ho hum" attitude about the MRO flowing water announcement.
Just an observation...and I must admit that the thrill of seeing Endeavour after so many years is much more exciting to me than the latest water announcement. -------------------- Jonathan Ward
