The ~absolutely gorgeous~ pic assembled by Ant103 in Post #254 shows the crater I've always wanted to be named the Far Side Crater in honor of Gary Larsen. True?


Fun fact - I premiered a concerto for electronic keyboards and orchestra with the LA Phil in 1989. Someone taped this cartoon to the curtain where I was to pass thru to receive my soloist's applause. LOL

It's the higher crater, IIRC.

My take sofar on the Endeavour Pan. There is a circular donut area on the left most part of the Pancam images that at leased for me isn't removable with current flat-fields unless however I brush them out. I have noticed this for quite awhile.

Now as I was hoping we see the horizon to westward included in the pan. smile.gif I assume the blip near the middle of this image is the same feature discussed in posts 235-8 above but still awaiting firm ID.

I see no very distant features here such as Bopolu or Miyamoto. Perhaps we're still not high enough even on this summit, or perhaps the air is just not clear enough at present.

A circular semicircle from sol 3635, just west of the prominent crater at the top of the ridge.

Thanks Phil. From your circular pan we can now see that the blip on the horizon is on a bearing close to 241 degrees. This means it can't be 'Rockaway' which should be near 272 degrees. My best guess for the blip is now a crater about half the size of Victoria and about 15 km distant. If I'm matching up the contour map with CTX correctly that crater and 'Rockaway' are located on the same gentle N-S rise which I think forms our western skyline from this viewpoint.

@James : really nice colour mosaic! I'm looking forward to the final panorama

@atomoid : there is a really good 3D effect on your xeye particularly between the foreground and the background. I love these little dunes smile.gif

So the 'blip' crater would seem to be this apparently younger one (arrow), not the eroded scalloped one (Rockway?) closer in.

@neo56: if only I could get the clumsy sw I have to not mangle the seams, I was trying for a bit wider vantage of that scene..

I've been doing some minor fine tuning of control points in my rover deck pan template and I added the rest of the images. Still some fine tuning left to do. Here is the L4 mosaic. The JPL version looks great smile.gif

EDIT: Whoops! sorry please move this post.

Atomoid: That's the one I'm suggesting but I'm using nothing more sophisticated than a school protractor laid on my computer screen. I'm awaiting confirmation or just as likely correction by someone with better tools. I note that this crater has wind streaks extending southeastward from each side suggesting there is significant relief there. The larger crater farther east is more eroded and furthermore lies in a hollow so I don't expect to see it.

[Incidentally 'Rockaway' is not that crater but the much smaller fresh one that appears as a dark spot at the top of your image almost directly above the arrowed feature. If you're interested you can find its original ID in post 259 of 'Distant Vistas' and a good view of it from near Concepcion in post 201 of that same thread.] EDIT: And the contour map in post 123.

Maybe I'm wrong about that. Checking the latest images I see a feature which could be that crater just below the horizon and just to the right of the foreground slope: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...MZP2417R1M1.JPG
