QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Sep 25 2006, 11:26 AM)  Yup. I was expecting something "weird" like on this previous post (see the attached animated gif), but it looks the test was much simpler.  So, you were NOT joking !  May be your first wrong assesment! I didn't thought you were feeling the pressure too

I could really have done with one extra navcam frame left and right but here is my best guess at the sol 951 position.

Yes I agree James. The rover have reached he rim and so its arrival in any way which you want to see it. And no more 'Are we there yet'.

Did Opportunity bend around the slopes of Duck Bay or cross the slopes; or is the straight line just a convention for the route maps?

I was just including the intermediate positions from last drive into the map when I saw Arkarch's post.
Here is a crop of it where you can see the dog-leg.

Sol955 Polar and Vertical projections, based on mhoward stitch:
This is for orientation:
From Vertical image the drive bending is 24deg; we see also the Sol951-52 drive track in the form of a weak dark arc on the right (in reality, trajectory was straight but local topography make it distorted). The paleocrater in front of Oppy (top-left) is not visible in MGS and perhaps could be an interesting target before to go on Capo Verde... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

No, this is not yet the route map update for sol 957.
 It's still the route as of two sols ago but now using the "clean" non-annotated background image of Victoria (thanks tom53 and NASA/JPL-Cornell/MSSS). Given that we have finally arrived it doesn't makes sense to keep the current map format with zoom at the left and the whole route at the right, so this is the *last* update using such format.
From now on I will keep just the left picture; it saves some bandwidth and I can use a not-so-heavy compression. ... and no "hypotetical path" at least for the time being.

Re-scale them to about the same size (50cm/pixel) as the current ones I'm using here, otherwise my PC would stall!
