Paolo's got his plunge over at Meridiani....and thanks to Ashley's driving, we now have - Stroupe's Slide here at Gusev. It took an email or two to figure out the best alliteration for it. Somehow 'Ashley's Favorable Incline' didn't quite scan, and Home Plate North is just so..dull. And where better to slide, than home plate! Even after as much careful planning ( that some suggested was too conservative ) it was still a major effort to get Spirit safe in time - so kudos to Ashley Stroupe and her colleagues for dealing with a couple of Mars jet-lagged weeks and giving us a shot at celebrating a 5th Martian Birthday.
Get comfortable, we may be here some time Doug |

Here is my final version, full size, blended, artificial sky and with a bit of fakery to fill in a bit of missed horizon (click image for resolution options)
Enjoy, James -------------------- |

Well, if it weren't for rock shadows in some regions you certainly could have fooled me it was calibrated. And that's saying something with my keen eye for artifacts in mind.
Superb work! -------------------- |
