Bye bye, Tisdale. It's time to move on.
Next target? Philosilicates. ----- Edited on Sep 16 2011. This thread is dedicated to the exploration of Cape York, starting on sol 2703 when Opportunity left the "rocky garden" and started moving towards Chester Lake. |

Beautiful Pan von Jan! Now I understand the tilted perspective in NickF's clip.

Beautiful Pan von Jan! Now I understand the tilted perspective in NickF's clip. Indeed, the rover is on a c. 10 degree slope at the moment. Here's the straightened version of my previous composite. -------------------- Protein structures and Mars fun - http://www.flickr.com/photos/nick960/

The numbers we've seen indicate tau has dropped a fair bit in the last month or so, but with these new pancams we can directly see how much the transparency has improved in the last few weeks. Compare these frames from 2679 and 2718 looking across to Iazu:

Thanks for the stitches, guys - this is a stunning view. Lots of colour variation too - the L2's are showing very different details than the L7's.
Here's a long baseline anaglyph from sols 2679 and 2718. The lighting is pretty different between the frames, and the stereo effect is pretty extreme for Solander point, so this may be one for the hard-core anaglyphers out there. Some nice structure on the inner slope of Tribulation, though. Here's a cross-eyed version for those using stereo photo maker or the like: |

Nice preliminary RAT MI's this morning, and I was able to get things straightened out and produce a couple of IDD location images
