You did it again, congratulations Marco & Ken! Incredible work, that's really another perspective. A first. You are absolutely right on making the curved horizon, it makes for a very very nice image. I just went to the APOD homepage to look for your mosaic there --that was my impression after reading Dilo's first post. But to my surprise ( ) I found this one: [ Thank you Eduardo ! and all ! Indeed a high ranking team member agreed it was a first ... and I am checking with others too We have submitted to APOD also and hopefully it will appear later. WE congratulute you !! on your excellent Sol 1278 image published here, at TPS and on APOD today . They complement one another to give a new perspective . I suggest a blink comparison Nice flattening Indian3000 ! How about you try something with a modest curve ??? vs. flat ----- Quote: climber I guess having survived from "the Bear" he just lost his words I had the same thought based on his account with the polar bears posted elsewhere http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/new...e07_entry5.html perhaps he meant, Its very nice to be alive ! ken |

Doug mentioned Gusev... it's not exactly the same thing, though, is it? "Trundle, trundle, trundle - Blimey! It's Gusev!"

We have submitted to APOD also ... I haven't, so my jaw almost broke the floor when I saw that "quick & dirty" mosaic on the screen. Maybe it's there after being used on the TPS blog and the monthly MER update. Emily? Sally? Back on topic, I'm really looking forward finding your AW&ST version on APOD. Since I don't check that site daily, *please* don't forget to post here when/if it gets there. |

"Trundle, trundle, trundle - Blimey! It's Gusev!" Well, that's just about how I felt on first seeing a clear view of the Gusev rim. I love landscapes with far perspectives as well as interesting near and middle distance features, so that was one of my favourite moments from the trip so far. |

thanks to all people who expressed so warm comments on the AWST picture!
Doug, you're right about Gusev. Indian, your last elaborations are very nice! I made an halfway version (between my and your colorization) with improved sky and removed caption: One question: why did you introduced shaded borders? PS: Oppy didn't move significantly in the last 5 days... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

I didn't submit it to APOD and I'm sure Salley didn't either, but I know that the APOD guys read the blog and occasionally mine it for images. Congratulations, Eduardo! And you too, Marco and Ken. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

One question: why did you introduced shaded borders? In Photoshop CS2, Draw a line with "line tools" weight "25 px" and apply "Filter->Blur->gaussian blush" on the line layout with radius 7.5 ( depend of your image resolution ) , Photoshop ask to you if you want rasterize the layout" ... said yes" and it's finished -------------------- |

I am surprised that APOD implies this is a possible entry point, although it is clear from the TPS link provided that Oppy will enter on the far side of the bay. Welcome to the FAR RIMER team TheChemist! EGD, we've got a new member ! -------------------- |

sorry, ... why ... to make a old picture effect ... it's just a esthetics point of view.
