The azimuth data of the sol 90 sunrise images are a bit odd:
lg_24930 50:52 elevation 5.03164 degrees and azimuth 13.2373 degrees lg_24931 51:45 elevation 5.03367 degrees and azimuth 13.2360 degrees lg_24932 56:50 elevation 5.03470 degrees and azimuth 13.2369 degrees What's the exact meaning of "The camera pointing was..."? Does this correspond to the actual elevation (notional horizon) and azimuth degrees seen from the same point as the camera? -------------------- |

Thanks Stu
What's the exact meaning of "The camera pointing was..."? Does this correspond to the actual elevation (notional horizon) and azimuth degrees seen from the same point as the camera? To cut a long story short: In consideration of raw images and probably also some small deformations in that huge mosaic, in PhotoShop, I took the given elev. and azimuth of that sunrise image lg_24930 (el. 5.03164 / az. 13.2373 / FOV 13.8x13.8) and get el. 1.27 and az. 11.87 degrees for the sun in the Peter Pan full res. mosaic. Additionally I made a test with two raw images at az. 280 and 154 degrees and get a dislocation in the azimuth of about 0.1 and 0.5 degrees. -------------------- |
