QUOTE (djellison @ Jan 22 2006, 09:47 PM) Obviously a little hard to see much in that anim gif, but I've done my best to try and replicate as close as I can what that might have looked like in real time - unlikely to be as accurate as the previous one, but I made the duration of the eclipse from 1st to last contact as about 37 seconds. Doug  Doug, really nice animation. How did you obtain the interpolated frames here? |

I didnt - I just made a total simualtion of the event. In my little realtime .movs - it's all simulated imagery, rendered in 3ds max, trying to replicate, as best possible, what it might look like

It's just an animation - I made a phobos-ish-shape ( not a very good one, just a slightly squished circle ) - and moved it across a circular white object, against a black background - and then added some blur to soften it appropriately, keyframed the motion of the 'moon' to my best guess of the real time, rendered out the sequence at the right resolution and badda bing.

The raw JPG's are too bad to even worry about - but one image catches an utter bulls eye of the transit.

It seems that more images of the Phobos eclipse came down today. Actually, I should say "eclipses." They apparently caught it three times between sol 707 and 709. I put together a quick animated gif.

I told Jim about the JPG's being totally borked, and so the JPG's have been re-processed in a way that meant they were not stretched to hell and back - so we've had a 're-release' of the recent Phobos tranists - one of them is just an utter bullseye shot - the best to date I think - I call it the 'polo mint' transit
 These are using the new 'sport mode' for Pancam, down to 3 sec between shots in places - very clever indeed - as mentioned in the Pancam Update MP3  Doug |

Wow, talk about a man with "connections." Great work, Doug. I just may show these eclipses to the kiddies.

Opportunity as astronomer.
Here is the animation from the eclipse on Sol 707. jvandriel

QUOTE (jvandriel @ Jan 28 2006, 07:46 AM) and the last one from Sol 709. jvandriel Right after Phobos passes over Sol, a faint speck appears briefly to the lower right. Is it a star, a meteor, a cosmic ray, a camera artifact? -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Well - it's with the L8 filter - so it's not going to be a star or a meteor - particularly given that it's the middle of the day Cosmic Ray most likelyDoug |
