Those are just two images taken with the left and right pancams in the same direction. Because the separation of the cameras is quite large, there is a big parallax effect when imaging objects close to the cameras. Also the site and drive number are the same for both images (55,DI), as it has been since sol 446. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

Here is a panorama from Opportunity's wheeltracks.

I tried to combine two taken on the same direction about 6 hours apart, in order to better visualize the dune colors on both sides... Finally, a "psychedelic" experiment on the same images in order to visualize slope through colors... I hope can be useful... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

You can judge by yourself: herebelow I re-scaled mosaic in order to compare with a Navcam image (Sol446)... farthest dune appear very close to horizon (about half degree), in direction of Erebus! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Bands differs more in terms of saturation than toanlity, I tried to enhance colors in top image (where up to me they are more evident); further enhancement in the right enlargement: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Member Group: Members Posts: 242 Joined: 17-February 04 From: Ohio, USA Member No.: 34	Thanks Dilo. I a bit baffled by those dunes. dvandorn in a different thread (Plan B ...) thinks that the narrow parallel ridges that are perpendicular to the crest of the ridge are an indication that the dunes are being eroded, rather than in a state of active deposition. I'm not sure what that means about those bands of color parallel to the ripple crest that your images so nicely highlight. Perhaps they represent internal bedding on the dune, or perhaps they represent some process of surficial dust accumulation on the downwind side of the dunes.
