QUOTE (djellison @ Aug 8 2011, 04:22 PM)  I don't understand the obsession with (or benefit of) colorizing a greyscale pan like that. I suspect it's artistic license, an entirely personal choice, which I support wholeheartedly. I find the tint evocative, and personally enjoy seeing these pictures. Keep it up Toma !! |

I often find the colorized grayscale images more appealing and natural than the "true" color images, which often render strange colors. Please don't stop posting them!

I haven't posted a Mars image in a long time so I thought I'd add my own twist on this view. Only a single frame though, this was just to see how the colors would turn out:
 On a side note, are the official flatfields available somewhere, i.e. separate from the RDR products? I always see a lot of static noise patterns in these raws which look like they could be divided out pretty nicely. -------------------- |

Do you have an idea, where we are now? On Cape York, yet? Or at spirit point? Odyssey crater seems not to be so far away?
Are we there yet?  -------------------- Need more input ...

QUOTE (MoreInput @ Aug 8 2011, 10:59 PM) Do you have an idea, where we are now? Still in the same place as after sol2678 drive.  There is no drive, or anything else except for tau mesurement scheduled for today (sol2680). I guess it's time to clear up some of that flash memory on Oppy. I'm especially interested in this 360 degree panorama from sol2677. QUOTE 02677 10:55:27 p2283.10. 1 0 0 0 27 27 27 pancam_albedo_pan_27x1_L1 There's not a single image from that sequence on the Exploratorium or JPL/MER Raw Images site but there are thumbnails on Pancam Data Tracking site for some time now....I have even tried to stitch then together but it's just too noisy and terribly low-resolution.

Patience, everyone. It's taken us - literally - years to get here, so another few sols of creeping up cautiously on Cape York isn't the end of the world.

Lots of luvverly rocks up there... Looking at orbital images of CY makes one think that phyllosilicate signature on top of it would be inaccessable to Oppy but looking at it from the ground, it shows up to be a gentle navigable slope for the rover IMHO so its just a matter of days before we get to sniff some new rock so just sit back and enjoy!! |

Fresh pictures should be available on the next exploratorium update cycle i.e. 01:35 UTC.
This batch will probably not include any new driving pictures (not planned, already told by TomaB) but "just" images from previous sols, clearing up the flash memory. In any case it should mean plenty of pictures to enjoy and share. |
