Maybe you think I'm a "perfectionnist" but I've make a more realistic sky with gradation of the color : more and more darkness with the approach of the zenith
 Do you like the bit tranformation I've put on your wallpaper Astro_0...?

Thx - Fabulous solset! - Must say that El Dorado looks totally unreal... but it does so in reality, so that is fine!

I still think the sun should be off the frame to the left to match the shadow angle behind the rocks at left. (the way Dilo had it) Also I'm not familiar with the reasoning for Mars having much less red in its sunsets than earth. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Wow ! this is absolutely great to see how the collaborative effort of so many forum members leads to such phantastic results, each improvement adding another step to perfection  Astro0: your final version is nothing but awsome ! Ant103: thanks for the vertical sky gradient ! it's the cherry on the cake

The Sun should indeed be off the frame; one could extend the sky (and use navcam overlays to make the sky gradation), put the Sun in the right spot, some annotation in place of the missing foreground, take out the excessive blue particularly dominating El Dorado, etc...
There is always room for improvement -or so I believe. Indeed, a lot of fun working together on things like this Nico -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

Ant103: thanks for the vertical sky gradient ! it's the cherry on the cake Absolutely fantastic images from everyone! Each successive reworking of the same raw data balances another cherry precariously on top of the one below, so the metaphorical cake now appears to be topped by a stunt motorcycle team dressed, as tomatoes, forming a wobbly human tower... er, minaturised to the size of cherries Being able to watch you all collaborating and competing to produce these images is an incredible experience. Thanks to everyone who's contributed... I'm abosolutely loving it. Recently I was thinking that, no matter what happens on Mars in the next few years and decades, I'm going to remember the MER/UMSF experience, and these images, for the rest of my life. -------------------- --

Not only, I'm pretty sure we will continue to crunch and perfectioning thousand of MER images years after mission conclusion!

I absolutely agree dilo. There's just so much data, and so much to learn about the possibilities in handling them... in many ways.

Great version, Psukata!
In my opinion though, next to Astro0 adding the rover, the obsolute crowning cherry on top of the cake would be to show a bright blue evening star (earth) emerging out of the dark sky above Husband Hill..........anyone? -------------------- |

OK. So it's back to the drawing board then.
Thanks for the rush of input from everyone.I'm sure that at the end of this process we'll have generated the most awesome, cheery-topping panorama from Mars ever -- excluding of course the vista from the edge of Victoria Crater when Oppy gets there. NB: This will of course push back the final SFX version until we get majority UMSF agreement on the background  Cheers Astro0 |

Rome wasn't built in a day, right, Dilo?
 Head out in the scrub, Astro0, and watch a few Aussie sunsets! Spirit's not going to run away. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
