The images have shown several crevices in the area already. How do they remain clean with so much dust going around?

Update to my shiny blob images. I've averaged the original sol 173 ML frame with a new one from 176 to beat down the jpeg noise in the zoomed left channel. The results are definitely better, but not dramatically.

QUOTE (Gerald @ Feb 6 2013, 04:51 AM)  Six sol 179 MAHLI images taken from different distances can be used for a "zoom in / zoom out" Outstanding. That's a nice demonstration of how that camera can work.

Sol 170 Mastcam34 pan, updated with Sol 176 images.
 But what I still can't understand why Sol 176 were took with a direct sunlight, instead of the soft light of twilight. It's like it's deliberated, to avoid some kind of "overexposure" (overexposure of what ? The blue-ish tint of the sky there at this time of the sol ?). IMO, I think it's time to stop recording rocks pictures and take some images with a strong public impact, like sunset (or -rise), at 100 mm and 34 mm, starfielfds, self-portrait of the Mast assembly in foreground of twilight or dawn, etc. Some pictures that could say to public : Curiosity IS on Mars, and she's doing amazing things here ! Sorry for the off-topic, but with half an earth year on Mars, and so few great pictures to deal with (to dream with if I dare say), except a lot of rock collections, I think it's sad. -------------------- |
