I've been struggling all evening, to manipulate the full size version on my poor old computer.
Now it's getting late, so it'll have to wait. In the meantime here is a lower resolution (about 1/4) first draft. I believe that with this done that is full mission success for SSI. Congrats Mark! James -------------------- |

Great imagery James Canvin & Astro0. Thanks. My own thoughts are that the first 360 pans should have been the priority for the first few sols, before unstowing the arm & digging. That arm is quite an intrusion. Having the arm moving about is not too much of a problem. They have already retaken a few of the images in the near field when the arm was in the way the first time. Can I ask, what software was used & is it expensive? I use Hugin to stitch the images (free open source ) and usually the GIMP to post-process (touch up saturation/brightness etc, add credits, save as jpg, etc.) (free open source ) However for really big images like full resolution 360 degree pans the GIMP really struggles and I then use Photoshop which can handle these much better. All the matching between frames is done using a program I have written myself from scratch which while has not cost me anything in monetary terms has cost me more time than I even want to think about over the years!

Thank you very much for your answers James. Very much appreciated. I must try & few more things myself. I will be keeping an eye out for further interesting images.
